Subject: [RFC PATCH V2 1/3] mm/nvdimm: Add PFN_MIN_VERSION support

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 22 May 2019 13:56:59 +0530

This allows us to make changes in a backward incompatible way. I have
kept the PFN_MIN_VERSION in this patch '0' because we are not introducing
any incompatible changes in this patch. We also may want to backport this
to older kernels.

The error looks like

  dax0.1: init failed, superblock min version 1, kernel support version 0

and the namespace is marked disabled

$ndctl list -Ni
[
  {
    "dev":"namespace0.0",
    "mode":"fsdax",
    "map":"mem",
    "size":10737418240,
    "uuid":"9605de6d-cefa-4a87-99cd-dec28b02cffe",
    "state":"disabled"
  }
]
