[PATCH v2 0/2] NVDIMM memory error notification support

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Thu Jun 08 2017 - 14:37:40 EST


ACPI 6.2 defines a new ACPI notification value to NVDIMM Root Device.
This allows BIOS to inform the OS that new uncorrectable memory error
is detected during run-time.

This patch-set adds support of this notification, which starts ARS and
updates badblocks information to prevent the OS from consuming the new
error.

v2:
- Set flags Bit[1] for Start ARS. (Dan Williams)
