The PMEM vs BLK section was removed without changing
the PMEM-REGIONS... title line.  Replace '^' with '_'.

f8669f1d6a nvdimm/blk: Delete the block-aperture window driver
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.

3dd4fe4b4d MAINTAINERS: Move nvdimm mailing list
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.

d3603f4c30 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: Documentation/driver-api
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.
