This series adds support for OpenCAPI SCM devices, exposing
them as nvdimms so that we can make use of the existing
infrastructure.

V2:
  - "powerpc: Map & release OpenCAPI LPC memory"
      - Fix #if -> #ifdef
      - use pci_dev_id to get the bdfn
      - use __be64 to hold be data
      - indent check_hotplug_memory_addressable correctly 
      - Remove export of check_hotplug_memory_addressable
  - "ocxl: Conditionally bind SCM devices to the generic OCXL driver"
      - Improve patch description and remove redundant default
  - "nvdimm: Add driver for OpenCAPI Storage Class Memory"
      - Mark a few funcs as static as identified by the 0day bot
      - Add OCXL dependancies to OCXL_SCM
      - Use memcpy_mcsafe in scm_ndctl_config_read
      - Rename scm_foo_offset_0x00 to scm_foo_header_parse & add docs
      - Name DIMM attribs "ocxl" rather than "scm"
      - Split out into base + many feature patches
  - "powerpc: Enable OpenCAPI Storage Class Memory driver on bare metal"
      - Build DEV_DAX & friends as modules
  - "ocxl: Conditionally bind SCM devices to the generic OCXL driver"
      - Patch dropped (easy enough to maintain this out of tree for development)
  - "ocxl: Tally up the LPC memory on a link & allow it to be mapped"
      - Add a warning if an unmatched lpc_release is called
  - "ocxl: Add functions to map/unmap LPC memory"
      - Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

Could we _not_ introduce yet another term for persistent memory?

"Storage Class Memory" is an industry wide term, and is used repeatedly
in the device specifications. It's not something that has been pulled
out of thin air.

The term is also already in use within the 'papr_scm' driver.

"Somebody else also wrote down Storage Class Memory".  Don't care.
Google gets 750k hits for Persistent Memory and 150k hits for
Storage Class Memory.  This term lost.

The acronym "SCM" is already in use.  Socket Control Messages go back
to early Unix (SCM_RIGHTS, SCM_CREDENTIALS, etc).  Really, you're just
making the case that IBM already uses the term SCM.  You should stop.

I tend to agree. The naming of things under
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ is not under my purview, but
drivers/nvdimm/ is. Since this driver is colocated with the "pmem"
driver let's not proliferate the "scm" vs "pmem" confusion.
