Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Primarily just the virtio_pmem driver:

   - virtio_pmem

     The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized
     persistent memory device that allows a guest VM to use DAX
     mechanisms to access a host-file with host-page-cache. It arranges
     for MAP_SYNC to be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync()
     when a 'write-cache flush' command is sent to the virtual disk
     device.

   - Miscellaneous small fixups"

* tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  virtio_pmem: fix sparse warning
  xfs: disable map_sync for async flush
  ext4: disable map_sync for async flush
  dax: check synchronous mapping is supported
  dm: enable synchronous dax
  libnvdimm: add dax_dev sync flag
  virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver
  libnvdimm: nd_region flush callback support
  libnvdimm, namespace: Drop uuid_t implementation detail
