[RFC Qemu PATCH v2 0/2] spapr: nvdimm: Asynchronus flush hcall support

2020-11-30 Thread Shivaprasad G Bhat
The nvdimm devices are expected to ensure write persistent during power failure kind of scenarios. The libpmem has architecture specific instructions like dcbf on power to flush the cache data to backend nvdimm device during normal writes. Qemu - virtual nvdimm devices are memory mapped. The dcbf
