nfit: update block I/O path to use PMEM API Update the nfit block I/O path to use the new PMEM API and to adhere to the read/write flows outlined in the "NVDIMM Block Window Driver Writer's Guide": http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_Driver_Writers_Guide.pdf This includes adding support for targeted NVDIMM flushes called "flush hints" in the ACPI 6.0 specification: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf For performance and media durability the mapping for a BLK aperture is moved to a write-combining mapping which is consistent with memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_blk().
