NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.

The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.

Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

Why unconditionally do this?  No-one currently uses the interface, but
every disk will now pay the price of an additional structure plus a page
for no benefit.  You should probably either export the initializer for
those who want to use it or, perhaps even better, make it lazily
allocated the first time anyone tries to set a bad block.

If you come up with a really good reason for allocating it
unconditionally, then it should probably be an embedded structure in the
gendisk.
