I've merged it into pending, and will also merge to master shortly to encourage all new submissions to be based on this. Also CC'ing a few distro maintainers - this will be a change to packaging specs etc. that are maintained outside of the ndctl repo. This change can be expected to land in the v73 release, which should be in the next 2-4 weeks. Thanks, Vishal

Thanks for the heads-up. The obvious downside is that with meson build system ndctl is no longer buildable on older distributions. Then again the new featurees are not needed there either with old kernels so I don't think this is really a problem. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:michals/ndctl.git Thanks Michal
