…kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Ross Zwisler:
 "Two fixes:

   - Fix memcpy_from_pmem() to fallback to memcpy() for architectures
     where CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API=n.

   - Add a comment explaining why we write data twice when clearing
     poison in pmem_do_bvec().

  This has passed a boot test on an X86_32 config, which was the
  architecture where issue #1 above was first noticed"

Dan Williams adds:
 "We're giving this multi-maintainer setup a shot, so expect libnvdimm
  pull requests from either Ross or I going forward"
