Subject[PATCH v2 19/33] dax, pmem: introduce 'copy_from_iter' dax operation
From
Date
The direct-I/O write path for a pmem device must ensure that data is
flushed to a power-fail safe zone when the operation is complete.
However, other dax capable block devices, like brd, do not have this
requirement. Introduce a 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so that pmem
can inject cache management without imposing this overhead on other dax
capable block_device drivers.

This is also a first step of moving all architecture-specific
pmem-operations to the pmem driver.
