No need to force NVMe device driver to be compiled in if the
lightnvm subsystem is selected. Also no need for PCI to be selected
as well, as it would be selected by the device driver that hooks into
the subsystem.

There is no users of CONFIG_NVM_DEBUG in the LightNVM subsystem. All
users are in pblk. Rename NVM_DEBUG to NVM_PBLK_DEBUG and enable
only for pblk.
Also fix up the CONFIG_NVM_PBLK entry to follow the code style for
Kconfig files.

Remove dependencies on HAS_DMA where a Kconfig symbol depends on another
symbol that implies HAS_DMA, and, optionally, on "|| COMPILE_TEST".
In most cases this other symbol is an architecture or platform specific
symbol, or PCI.
Generic symbols and drivers without platform dependencies keep their
dependencies on HAS_DMA, to prevent compiling subsystems or drivers that
cannot work anyway.
This simplifies the dependencies, and allows to improve compile-testing.

The hybrid mode for 1.2 revision was deprecated, and have
no users. Remove to make it easier to move to the 2.0 revision.

Because NVM needs BLK_DEV_NVME, select it automatically if we mark NVM
in config file before building kernel. Also append PCI to depends as
select doesn't automatically add dependencies.

This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for
Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation
layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be
managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their
specific workloads.
An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a
collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but
writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block
requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be
applied.
To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to
physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage
collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit
user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os.
The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a
4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in
the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a
line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a
scan to recover the L2P table.
The user data is organized into lines. A line is data
striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to
reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user
data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding
in the future.
pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated
multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a
portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and
capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case.
Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows
user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface
is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block
device name exposed.

For the first iteration of Open-Channel SSDs, it was anticipated that
there could be various media managers on top of an open-channel SSD,
such to allow vendors to plug in their own host-side FTLs, without the
media manager in between.
Now that an Open-Channel SSD is exposed as a traditional block device,
there is no longer a need for this. Therefore lets merge the gennvm code
with core and simplify the stack.

The generic manager should be called the general media manager, and
instead of using the rather long name of "gennvm" in front of each data
structures, use "gen" instead to shorten it. Update the description of
the media manager as well to make the media manager purpose clearer.

set. This interfaces takes a string to configure media managers and
targets. Make sure this interface is only exposed when chosen

This target allows an Open-Channel SSD to be exposed asas a block
device.
It implements a round-robin approach for sector allocation,
together with a greedy cost-based garbage collector.

The implementation for Open-Channel SSDs is divided into media
management and targets. This patch implements a generic media manager
for open-channel SSDs. After a media manager has been initialized,
single or multiple targets can be instantiated with the media managed as
the backend.

Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.
LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.
The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.
