UEFI 2.7 defines in page 758 that:
Initial Label Storage Area Configuration
:
The minimum size of the Label Storage Area is large enough to
hold 2 index blocks and 2 labels.
The mininum index block size is 256 bytes, and the minimum label size
is also 256 bytes.
Change ND_LABEL_MIN_SIZE to (256 * 4) so that NVDIMM devices with
the minimum label storage area do not fail with the size check in
nvdimm_init_config_data().

The UEFI 2.7 specification defines an updated BTT metadata format,
bumping the revision to 2.0. Add support for the new format, while
retaining compatibility for the old 1.1 format.

Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an
address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard
address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the
Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later
patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address
abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX.
The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for
tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label.
For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of
'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect
until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that
whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified
class.

In support of improved interoperability between operating systems and pre-boot
environments the Intel proposed NVDIMM Namespace Specification [1], has been
adopted and modified to the the UEFI 2.7 NVDIMM Label Protocol [2].
Update the definitions of the namespace label data structures so that the new
format can be supported alongside the existing label format.
The new specification changes the default label size to 256 bytes, so
everywhere that relied on sizeof(struct nd_namespace_label) must now use the
sizeof_namespace_label() helper.
There should be no functional differences from these changes as the
default is still the v1.1 128-byte format. Future patches will move the
default to the v1.2 definition.

After 'uuid', 'size', 'sector_size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been
set to valid values the labels on the dimm can be updated. The
difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one
dimm and can cover discontiguous ranges in dpa space.
Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know
how many slots are left. Export this information in sysfs.

After 'uuid', 'size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid
values the labels on the dimms can be updated.
Write procedure is:
1/ Allocate and write new labels in the "next" index
2/ Free the old labels in the working copy
3/ Write the bitmap and the label space on the dimm
4/ Write the index to make the update valid
Label ranges directly mirror the dpa resource values for the given
label_id of the namespace.

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.
