libnvdimm, nd_blk: remove mmio_flush_range()

mmio_flush_range() suffers from a lack of clearly-defined semantics,
and is somewhat ambiguous to port to other architectures where the
scope of the writeback implied by "flush" and ordering might matter,
but MMIO would tend to imply non-cacheable anyway. Per the rationale
in 67a3e8fe9015 ("nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB"), the
only existing use is actually to invalidate clean cache lines for
ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM type mappings *without* writeback. Since the recent
cleanup of the pmem API, that also now happens to be the exact purpose
of arch_invalidate_pmem(), which would be a far more well-defined tool
for the job.

Rather than risk potentially inconsistent implementations of
mmio_flush_range() for the sake of one callsite, streamline things by
removing it entirely and instead move the ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM related
definitions up to the libnvdimm level, so they can be shared by NFIT
as well. This allows NFIT to be enabled for arm64.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
notification from the kbuild robot.

Change summary:

- Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
namespace modes or state.

This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
devices.

- Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
memory support.

- 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
(asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
-stable.

- ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

acpi, nfit: kill ACPI_NFIT_DEBUG

Inevitably when one actually needs to debug a DSM issue it's on a
distribution kernel that has CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT_DEBUG=n. The config symbol
was only there to avoid the compile error due to the missing fallback for
print_hex_dump_debug in the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n case. That was fixed
with commit cdf17449af1d "hexdump: do not print debug dumps for
!CONFIG_DEBUG", so the config symbol can just be dropped.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.

- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.

- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.

- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
