Changes since v2 [1]:

- Rebase on v72
  - Add Meson support for the new config file directory definitions.
  - Add Meson support for landing the daxctl udev rule
    daxdev-reconfigure service in the right directories
- Include the deprecation of BLK Aperture test infrastructure
- Include a miscellaneous doc clarification for 'ndctl update-firmware'
- Fix the tests support for moving the build directory out-of-line
- Include a fix for the deprectation of the dax_pmem_compat module
  pending in the libnvdimm-for-next tree.

As mentioned in patch 14 the motiviation for converting to Meson is
primarily driven by speed (an order of magnitude in some scenarios), but
Meson also includes better test and debug-build support. The build
language is easier to read, write, and debug. Meson is all around better
suited to the next phase of the ndctl project that will include all
things "device memory" related (ndctl, daxctl, and cxl).

In order to simplify the conversion the old BLK-aperture test
infrastructure is jettisoned and it will also be removed upstream. Some
other refactorings and fixups are included as well to better organize
the utilty infrastructure between truly common and sub-tool specific.

Vishal,

In preparation for ndctl-v73 please consider pulling in this series
early mainly for my own sanity of not needing to forward port more
updates to the autotools infrastructure.

Tested this series on a PPC64-LE guest with a vPMEM device. Generated
binaries for ndctl/daxctl passed the test suite located at
https://github.com/avocado-framework-tests/avocado-misc-tests/blob/master/memory/ndctl.py

Hence,

Hi Dan - I'll offer a Tested-by since I used it for v2 of the CXL Partitions:
https://lore.kernel.org/nvdimm/cover.1641965853.git.alison.schofield@intel.com/

Very FAST!

Hi Dan,

These look great, thanks a lot for this work, it is an awesome workflow
improvement!  I've merged it into pending, and will also merge to
master shortly to encourage all new submissions to be based on this.

Also CC'ing a few distro maintainers - this will be a change to
packaging specs etc. that are maintained outside of the ndctl repo.
This change can be expected to land in the v73 release, which should be
in the next 2-4 weeks.

Thanks,
Vishal

Thanks for the heads-up.

The obvious downside is that with meson build system ndctl is no longer
buildable on older distributions. Then again the new featurees are not
needed there either with old kernels so I don't think this is really a
problem.

Thanks

Yep I have a patch for this actually in a local branch, I'll send it
out - was just waiting to see if any related fixes pop up.
