This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.

Sorry about being late to the party; this one has been sitting in my
'to review' queue for far too long :(

Nit: 'host_ack' looks a bit generic for an exported function... would
'virtio_pmem_host_ack' maybe be better?

I don't see an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for this function... should it get
one, or should it be made static?

Hm... by the comment above I would have thought that this is not really
an error, but rather a temporary condition? Maybe downgrade this to
dev_info()?

Does it make sense to kick if you couldn't add at all?

If this is dev_info, I think the error above really should be dev_info
as well (and maybe also log the error value)?

Nit: The comment should start with an otherwise empty /* line.

I have only some more minor comments; on the whole, this looks good to
me.

Yes, this looks better. Changed.

Made static. Leftover from last refactor of 'asyc_pmem_flush'.

When we could not add because of -ENOSPC we are waiting and when buffer is added
then only we do a kick. For any other error which might be a rare occurrence, I think
kick is harmless here and keeps the code clean?

Sure, Thank you. Attaching below on top changes on current patch2 based on
your suggestions. Let me know if these are okay and then will send official
v13 to for upstream merging.

Thanks,

Hm, why are you making this change? I think the previous code was fine.
