Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has been in -next since before the merge window
opened, with no known collisions / issues reported.
The only detail worth noting, outside the summary below, is that the
"libnvdimm-start-pad" topic has been truncated to just cleanups and
small fixes. The full topic branch would have doubled down on hacks
around the "section alignment" limitation of the core-mm, instead
effort is now being spent to address that root issue in the memory
hotplug implementation for v5.2.
- Fix nfit-bus command submission regression
- Support retrieval of short-ARS results if the ARS state is
"requires continuation", and even if the "no_init_ars" module
parameter is specified
- Allow busy-polling of the kernel ARS state by allowing root to
reset the exponential back-off timer
- Filter potentially stale ARS results by tracking query-ARS relative
to the previous start-ARS
- Enhance dax_device alignment checks
- Add support for the Hyper-V family of device-specific-methods
(DSMs)
- Add several fixes and workarounds for Hyper-V compatibility
- Fix support to cache the dirty-shutdown-count at init"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
