The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:
/*
* .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
* New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
* converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
*/
This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.
I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.
Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

papr_scm and ndtest share common PDSM payload structs like
nd_papr_pdsm_health. Presently these structs are duplicated across
papr_pdsm.h and ndtest.h header files. Since 'ndtest' is essentially
arch independent and can run on platforms other than PPC64, a way
needs to be deviced to avoid redundancy and duplication of PDSM
structs in future.
So the patch proposes moving the PDSM header from arch/powerpc/include-
-/uapi/ to the generic include/uapi/linux directory. Also, there
are some #defines common between papr_scm and ndtest which are not
exported to the user space. So, move them to a header file which
can be shared across ndtest and papr_scm via newly introduced
include/linux/papr_scm.h.

With the nd_namespace_blk and nd_blk_region infrastructures being removed,
the ndtest still has some references to the old code. So the
compilation fails as below,

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.
Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".
The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:
- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+
As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

The current test module cannot be used for testing platforms (make check)
that do not have support for NFIT. In order to get the ndctl tests working,
we need a module which can emulate NVDIMM devices without relying on
ACPI/NFIT.
The aim of this proposed module is to implement a similar functionality to
the existing module but without the ACPI dependencies.
This RFC series is split into reviewable and compilable chunks.
This patch adds a new driver and registers two nvdimm bus needed for ndctl
make check.
