Block Aperture Window support was an attempt to layer an error model
over PMEM for platforms that did not support machine-check-recovery.
However, it was abandoned before it ever shipped, and only ever existed
in the ACPI specification. Meanwhile Linux has carried a large pile of
dead code for non-shipping infrastructure. For years it has been off to
the side out of the way, but now CXL and recent directions with DAX
support have the potential to collide with this code.
In preparation for adding discontiguous namespace support, a
pre-requisite for the nvdimm subsystem to replace device-mapper for
striping + concatenation use cases, delete BLK aperture support.
On the obscure chance that some hardware vendor shipped support for this
mode, note that the driver will still keep BLK space reserved in the
label area. So an end user in this case would still have the opportunity
to report the regression to get BLK-mode support restored without
risking the data they have on that device.

After seeing some users have subscription management trouble, more spam
than other Linux development lists, and considering some of the benefits
of kernel.org hosted lists, nvdimm and persistent memory development is
moving to nvdimm@lists.linux.dev.
The old list will remain up until v5.14-rc1 and shutdown thereafter.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updayes from Vishal Verma:
"You'd normally receive this pull request from Dan Williams, but he's
busy watching a newborn (Congrats Dan!), so I'm watching libnvdimm
this cycle.
This adds a new feature in libnvdimm - 'Runtime Firmware Activation',
and a few small cleanups and fixes in libnvdimm and DAX. I'd
originally intended to make separate topic-based pull requests - one
for libnvdimm, and one for DAX, but some of the DAX material fell out
since it wasn't quite ready.
Summary:
- add 'Runtime Firmware Activation' support for NVDIMMs that
advertise the relevant capability

Abstract platform specific mechanics for nvdimm firmware activation
behind a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state()
indicates the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus,
and ->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate.
At the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state,
->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation
attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to
'armed'.
A new hibernate_quiet_exec() facility is added to support firmware
activation in an OS defined system quiesce state. It leverages the fact
that the hibernate-freeze state wants to assert that a memory
hibernation snapshot can be taken. This is in contrast to a platform
firmware defined quiesce state that may forcefully quiet the memory
controller independent of whether an individual device-driver properly
supports hibernate-freeze.
The libnvdimm sysfs interface is extended to support detection of a
firmware activate capability. The mechanism supports enumeration and
triggering of firmware activate, optionally in the
hibernate_quiet_exec() context.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
