Linus Torvalds 6078e07dcf libnvdimm for 4.20
* Improve the efficiency and performance of reading nvdimm-namespace
   labels. Reduce the amount of label data read at driver load time by a
   few orders of magnitude. Reduce heavyweight call-outs to
   platform-firmware routines.
 
 * Handle media errors located in the 'struct page' array stored on a
   persistent memory namespace. Let the kernel clear these errors rather
   than an awkward userspace workaround.
 
 * Fix Address Range Scrub (ARS) completion tracking. Correct occasions
   where the kernel indicates completion of ARS before submission.
 
 * Fix asynchronous device registration reference counting.
 
 * Add support for reporting an nvdimm dirty-shutdown-count via sysfs.
 
 * Fix various small libnvdimm core and uapi issues.
