Current write-hint infrastructure supports 6 temperature-based data
lifetime hints.
The series extends the infrastructure with a new temperature-agnostic
placement-type hint. New fcntl codes F_{SET/GET}_RW_HINT_EX allow to
send the hint type/value on file. See patch #3 commit description and
interface example below [*].

Overall this creates 127 placement hint values that users can pass.

Patch #5 adds the ability to map these new hint values to nvme-specific
placement-identifiers.
Patch #4 restricts SCSI to use only lifetime hint values.
Patch #1 and #2 are simple prep patches.

Changes since v4:
- Retain the size/type checking on the enum (Bart)
- Use the name "*_lifetime_hint" rather than "*_life_hint" (Bart)

Changes since v3:
- 4 new patches to introduce placement hints
- Make nvme patch use the placement hints rather than lifetime hints

Changes since v2:
- Base it on nvme-6.11 and resolve a merge conflict

Changes since v1:
- Reduce the fetched plids from 128 to 6 (Keith)
- Use struct_size for a calculation (Keith)
- Handle robot/sparse warning

Kanchan Joshi (4):
  fs, block: refactor enum rw_hint
  fcntl: rename rw_hint_* to rw_lifetime_hint_*
  fcntl: add F_{SET/GET}_RW_HINT_EX
  nvme: enable FDP support

Nitesh Shetty (1):
  sd: limit to use write life hints
