Hi Linus,

Both this pull request, and mine ([GIT PULL] dax-misc for 4.7) have
minor merge conflicts with your tree. These were caught by linux-next
too (in addition to the one I mentioned in my pull request), but I
neglected to mention this one [1].

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/19/707

I've updated the branch at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-for-4.7-merge

with the expected resolution of merging both dax-misc-for-4.7 and
dax-locking-for-4.7

Let me know if you run into something odd, and apologies for not giving
an earlier heads up about the conflict.
