[RFC PATCH 1/3] mm/nvdimm: Add PFN_MIN_VERSION support

Wed May 22 16:20:55 AEST 2019


This allows us to make changes in a backward incompatible way. I have
kept the PFN_MIN_VERSION in this patch '0' because we are not introducing
any incompatible changes in this patch. We also may want to backport this
to older kernels.
