At initialization time the 'dimm' driver caches a copy of the memory
device's label area and reserves address space for each of the
namespaces defined.
However, as can be seen below, the reservation occurs even when the
index blocks are invalid:
nvdimm nmem0: nvdimm_init_config_data: len: 131072 rc: 0
nvdimm nmem0: config data size: 131072
nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex0 labelsize 1 invalid
nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex1 labelsize 1 invalid
nvdimm nmem0: : pmem-6025e505: 0x1000000000 @ 0xf50000000 reserve <-- bad
Gate dpa reservation on the presence of valid index blocks.

ACPI 6.2 adds support for named methods to access the label storage area
of an NVDIMM. We prefer these new methods if available and otherwise
fallback to the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL _DSMs. The kernel ioctls,
ND_IOCTL_{GET,SET}_CONFIG_{SIZE,DATA}, remain generic and the driver
translates the 'package' payloads into the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL 'buffer'
format to maintain compatibility with existing userspace and keep the
output buffer parsing code in the driver common.
The output payloads are mostly compatible save for the 'label area
locked' status that moves from the 'config_size' (_LSI) command to the
'config_read' (_LSR) command status.

If we successfully enable a DIMM then it must not be locked and we can
clear the label-read failure condition. Otherwise, we need to reload the
entire bus provider driver to achieve the same effect, and that can
disrupt unrelated DIMMs and namespaces.

Per the latest version of the "NVDIMM DSM Interface Example" [1], the
label data retrieval routine can report a "locked" status. In this case
all regions associated with that DIMM are disabled until the label area
is unlocked. Provide generic libnvdimm enabling for NVDIMMs with label
data area locking capabilities.

Platforms like QEMU-KVM implement an NFIT table and label DSMs.
However, since that environment does not define an aliased
configuration, the labels are currently ignored and the kernel registers
a single full-sized pmem-namespace per region. Now that the kernel
supports sub-divisions of pmem regions the labels have a purpose.
Arrange for the labels to be honored when we find an existing / valid
namespace index block.

'ndctl list --buses --dimms' does not list any NVDIMM-Ns since
they are considered as idle. ndctl checks if any driver is
attached to nmem device. nvdimm_probe() always fails in
nvdimm_init_nsarea() since NVDIMM-Ns do not implement optinal
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA command.
Change nvdimm_probe() to accept the case that the CONFIG_DATA
command is not implemented for NVDIMM-Ns. The driver attaches
without ndd, which keeps it no-op to the device.

A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where
all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting
interleave set.
Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's
'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes. A later patch will make
these settings persistent by writing back the label.
Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave
set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)). BLK-namespaces that alias
with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the
highest DPA.

This on media label format [1] consists of two index blocks followed by
an array of labels. None of these structures are ever updated in place.
A sequence number tracks the current active index and the next one to
write, while labels are written to free slots.

After reading valid labels, store the dpa ranges they claim into
per-dimm resource trees.

The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates
non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by
persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK).
ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously
offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store
access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM
interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines.
If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm
metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries
directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and
attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a
nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported
device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias'
and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic
sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type
number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a
vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise.
* The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver
for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and
store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm.
Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of
nvdimm bus devices by default.
