Introduce support for PAPR NVDIMM Specific Methods (PDSM) in papr_scm module and add the command family NVDIMM_FAMILY_PAPR to the white list of NVDIMM command sets. Also advertise support for ND_CMD_CALL for the nvdimm command mask and implement necessary scaffolding in the module to handle ND_CMD_CALL ioctl and PDSM requests that we receive. The layout of the PDSM request as we expect from libnvdimm/libndctl is described in newly introduced uapi header 'papr_pdsm.h' which defines a 'struct nd_pkg_pdsm' and a maximal union named 'nd_pdsm_payload'. These new structs together with 'struct nd_cmd_pkg' for a pdsm envelop thats sent by libndctl to libnvdimm and serviced by papr_scm in 'papr_scm_service_pdsm()'. The PDSM request is communicated by member 'struct nd_cmd_pkg.nd_command' together with other information on the pdsm payload (size-in, size-out). The patch also introduces 'struct pdsm_cmd_desc' instances of which are stored in an array __pdsm_cmd_descriptors[] indexed with PDSM cmd and corresponding access function pdsm_cmd_desc() is introduced. 'struct pdsm_cdm_desc' holds the service function for a given PDSM and corresponding payload in/out sizes. A new function papr_scm_service_pdsm() is introduced and is called from papr_scm_ndctl() in case of a PDSM request is received via ND_CMD_CALL command from libnvdimm. The function performs validation on the PDSM payload based on info present in corresponding PDSM descriptor and if valid calls the 'struct pdcm_cmd_desc.service' function to service the PDSM.

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.
