Hi Linus, please pull from:

+AKA- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive 3 fixes, the first 2 are tagged for -stable.

1/ The ndctl utility/library gained expanded unit tests illuminating a
long standing bug in the libnvdimm SMART data retrieval implementation.
+AKA-It has been broken since its initial implementation, now fixed.

2/ Another one line fix for the detection of stale info blocks.
+AKA-Without this change userspace can get into a situation where it is
unable to reconfigure a namespace.

3/ Fix the badblock initialization path in the presence of the new (in
4,6-rc1) section alignment workarounds. +AKA-Without this change badblocks
will be reported at the wrong offset.

These have received a build success report from the kbuild robot and
have appeared in -next with no reported issues.

The following changes since commit 9735a22799b9214d17d3c231fe377fc852f042e9:
