similar to: [PATCH v4 0/5] virtio pmem driver

This patch series has implementation for "virtio pmem". "virtio pmem" is fake persistent memory(nvdimm) in guest which allows to bypass the guest page cache. This also implements a VIRTIO based asynchronous flush mechanism. Sharing guest kernel driver in this patchset with the changes suggested in v4. Tested with Qemu side device emulation [6] for virtio-pmem.

Hi Dan, Proposing the patch series to be merged via nvdimm tree as kindly agreed by you. We have ack/review on XFS, EXT4 & VIRTIO patches. Incorporated all the changes suggested in v8.
