d09f9581b2 lightnvm: cleanup queue before target removal
This prevents outstanding IOs to be sent for completion to target after
the target has been removed. The flow is now: stop new IOs > cleanup
queue > remove target.

7386af270c lightnvm: remove linear and device addr modes
The linear and device specific address modes can be replaced with a
simple offset and bit length conversion that is generic across all
devices.

This both simplifies the specification and removes the special case for
qemu nvme, that previously relied on the linear address mapping.

c1480ad594 lightnvm: prevent double free on init error
Both the nvm_register and nvm_init does a kfree(dev) on error. Make sure
to only free it once.

edad2e6606 lightnvm: prematurely activate nvm_dev
We register with nvm_devices when there registration can still fail.
Move the final registration at the end of the nvm_register function
to make sure we are fully registered when added to the nvm_devices list.

4264c980e3 lightnvm: check for NAND flash and its type
Only NAND flash with SLC and MLC is supported. Make sure to not try to
initialize TLC memory or other non-volatile memory types.

1145046983 lightnvm: update bad block table format
The specification was changed to reflect a multi-value bad block table.
Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows
eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined:

 * Factory bad blocks
 * Grown bad blocks
 * Device-side reserved blocks
 * Host-side reserved blocks

The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The
reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In
particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to
bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash
blocks to scan upon super block initialization.

Support for both get bad block table and set bad block table is added.

a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up.

b7ceb7d500 lightnvm: refactor phys addrs type to u64
For cases where CONFIG_LBDAF is not set. The struct ppa_addr exceeds its
type on 32 bit architectures. ppa_addr requires a 64bit integer to hold
the generic ppa format. We therefore refactor it to u64 and
replaces the sector_t usages with u64 for physical addresses.

ae1519ec44 rrpc: Round-robin sector target with cost-based gc
This target allows an Open-Channel SSD to be exposed asas a block
device.

It implements a round-robin approach for sector allocation,
together with a greedy cost-based garbage collector.

48add0f5a6 gennvm: Generic NVM manager
The implementation for Open-Channel SSDs is divided into media
management and targets. This patch implements a generic media manager
for open-channel SSDs. After a media manager has been initialized,
single or multiple targets can be instantiated with the media managed as
the backend.

cd9e9808d1 lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs
Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.

LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.

The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.
