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

Hi Dan,

Are you ok with this patch series? If yes I can send a non-RFC version for
this series. Since we are now marking all previously created pfn_sb on
ppc64 as not supported, (pfn_sb->page_size = SZ_4K) I would like to get
this merged early.
