Changes since v1 [1]: - Fix a NULL-pointer deref crash in pci_p2pdma_release() (Logan)
- Refresh the p2pdma patch headers to match the format of other p2pdma patches (Bjorn)
- Collect Ira's reviewed-by

Logan audited the devm_memremap_pages() shutdown path and noticed that it was possible to proceed to arch_remove_memory() before all potential page references have been reaped.
Introduce a new ->cleanup() callback to do the work of waiting for any straggling page references and then perform the percpu_ref_exit() in devm_memremap_pages_release() context.
For p2pdma this involves some deeper reworks to reference count resources on a per-instance basis rather than a per pci-device basis. A modified genalloc api is introduced to convey a driver-private pointer through gen_pool_{alloc,free}() interfaces. Also, a devm_memunmap_pages() api is introduced since p2pdma does not auto-release resources on a setup failure.
The dax and pmem changes pass the nvdimm unit tests, and the p2pdma changes should now pass testing with the pci_p2pdma_release() fix. Jérôme, how does this look for HMM?
In general, I think these patches / fixes are suitable for v5.2-rc1 or v5.2-rc2, and since they touch kernel/memremap.c, and other various pieces of the core, they should go through the -mm tree. These patches merge cleanly with the current state of -next, pass the nvdimm unit tests, and are exposed to the 0day robot with no issues reported (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/log/?h=libnvdimm-pending).
