Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Some reworks to better support nvdimms on powerpc and an nvdimm
security interface update:
- Rework the nvdimm core to accommodate architectures with different
page sizes and ones that can change supported huge page sizes at
boot time rather than a compile time constant.
- Introduce a distinct 'frozen' attribute for the nvdimm security
state since it is independent of the locked state.
- Miscellaneous fixups"

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.
