Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"These fixes are all tagged for -stable and have received a build
success notification from the kbuild robot.
- NVDIMM namespaces, configured to enforce 1GB alignment, fail to
initialize on platforms that mis-align the start or end of the
physical address range.
- The Linux implementation of the BTT (Block Translation Table) is
incompatible with the UEFI 2.7 definition of the BTT format. The
BTT layers a software atomic sector semantic on top of an NVDIMM
namespace. Linux needs to be compatible with the UEFI definition to
enable boot support or any pre-OS access of data on a BTT enabled
namespace.
- A fix for ACPI SMART notification events, this allows a userspace
monitor to register for health events rather than poll. This has
been broken since it was initially merged as the unit test
inadvertently worked around the problem. The urgency for fixing
this during the -rc series is driven by how expensive it is to poll
for this data (System Management Mode entry)"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
