H A Ddimm.cdiff 42237e393f64d619ed56e17fbf8fd27526485695 Sat Oct 15 17:33:52 CDT 2016 Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label support

Platforms like QEMU-KVM implement an NFIT table and label DSMs.
However, since that environment does not define an aliased
configuration, the labels are currently ignored and the kernel registers
a single full-sized pmem-namespace per region. Now that the kernel
supports sub-divisions of pmem regions the labels have a purpose.
Arrange for the labels to be honored when we find an existing / valid
namespace index block.
