Merge branch 'for-4.4/lightnvm' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block 

Pull lightnvm support from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds support for lightnvm, and adds support to NVMe as well.
  This is pretty exciting, in that it enables new and interesting use
  cases for compatible flash devices.  There's a LWN writeup about an
  earlier posting here:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/641247/

  This has been underway for a while, and should be ready for merging at
  this point"

* 'for-4.4/lightnvm' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  nvme: lightnvm: clean up a data type
  lightnvm: refactor phys addrs type to u64
  nvme: LightNVM support
  rrpc: Round-robin sector target with cost-based gc
  gennvm: Generic NVM manager
  lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs

menuconfig NVM

	bool "Open-Channel SSD target support"

	depends on BLOCK

	help

	  Say Y here to get to enable Open-channel SSDs.



	  Open-Channel SSDs implement a set of extension to SSDs, that

	  exposes direct access to the underlying non-volatile memory.



	  If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled

	  only do this if you know what you are doing.



if NVM



config NVM_DEBUG

	bool "Open-Channel SSD debugging support"

	---help---

	Exposes a debug management interface to create/remove targets at:



	  /sys/module/lnvm/parameters/configure_debug



	It is required to create/remove targets without IOCTLs.



config NVM_GENNVM

	tristate "Generic NVM manager for Open-Channel SSDs"

	---help---

	NVM media manager for Open-Channel SSDs that offload management

	functionality to device, while keeping data placement and garbage

	collection decisions on the host.



config NVM_RRPC

	tristate "Round-robin Hybrid Open-Channel SSD target"

	---help---

	Allows an open-channel SSD to be exposed as a block device to the

	host. The target is implemented using a linear mapping table and

	cost-based garbage collection. It is optimized for 4K IO sizes.
