papr_scm and ndtest share common PDSM payload structs like
nd_papr_pdsm_health. Presently these structs are duplicated across
papr_pdsm.h and ndtest.h header files. Since 'ndtest' is essentially
arch independent and can run on platforms other than PPC64, a way
needs to be deviced to avoid redundancy and duplication of PDSM
structs in future.
So the patch proposes moving the PDSM header from arch/powerpc/include-
-/uapi/ to the generic include/uapi/linux directory. Also, there
are some #defines common between papr_scm and ndtest which are not
exported to the user space. So, move them to a header file which
can be shared across ndtest and papr_scm via newly introduced
include/linux/papr_scm.h.

The bus config array is used to hold the regions and the respective
mappings. This config based interface enables to change the
dimm/region/namespace layouts easily.

A config array is used to hold the dimms for each bus. These dimms are
registered with nvdimm, and new nvdimms are created on the buses.

The current test module cannot be used for testing platforms (make check)
that do not have support for NFIT. In order to get the ndctl tests working,
we need a module which can emulate NVDIMM devices without relying on
ACPI/NFIT.
The aim of this proposed module is to implement a similar functionality to
the existing module but without the ACPI dependencies.
This RFC series is split into reviewable and compilable chunks.
This patch adds a new driver and registers two nvdimm bus needed for ndctl
make check.
