[v2,2/3] nvdimm: Add wrapper for IOCTL pass thru

Commit Message

Jerry Hoemann Nov. 16, 2015, 6:38 p.m. UTC

Add struct nd_passthru_pkg which serves as a warapper for
the data being passed via a pass thru to a NVDIMM DSM.
This wrapper specifies the extra information in a uniform
manner allowing the kenrel to call a DSM without knowing
specifics of the DSM.
