libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructure
* 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.
