Dan Williams 564e871aa6 libnvdimm, label: add v1.2 nvdimm label definitions
In support of improved interoperability between operating systems and pre-boot
environments the Intel proposed NVDIMM Namespace Specification [1], has been
adopted and modified to the the UEFI 2.7 NVDIMM Label Protocol [2].

Update the definitions of the namespace label data structures so that the new
format can be supported alongside the existing label format.

The new specification changes the default label size to 256 bytes, so
everywhere that relied on sizeof(struct nd_namespace_label) must now use the
sizeof_namespace_label() helper.

There should be no functional differences from these changes as the
default is still the v1.1 128-byte format. Future patches will move the
default to the v1.2 definition.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
