Ok, I am adding one more patch to series and enabling pmem_clear_poison()
to accept arbitrary offset and length and let it align offset and length
to sector boundary. Keeping it in a separate patch so that Dan can have
a close look at it and make sure I am doing things correctly.

Here is the new patch. I will post the V5 soon with this new patch.

Thanks

Subject: drivers/pmem: Allow pmem_clear_poison() to accept arbitrary offset and len

Currently pmem_clear_poison() expects offset and len to be sector aligned.
Atleast that seems to be the assumption with which code has been written.
It is called only from pmem_do_bvec() which is called only from pmem_rw_page()
and pmem_make_request() which will only passe sector aligned offset and len.

Soon we want use this function from dax_zero_page_range() code path which
can try to zero arbitrary range of memory with-in a page. So update this
function to assume that offset and length can be arbitrary and do the
necessary alignments as needed.

nvdimm_clear_poison() seems to assume offset and len to be aligned to
clear_err_unit boundary. But this is currently internal detail and is
not exported for others to use. So for now, continue to align offset and
length to SECTOR_SIZE boundary. Improving it further and to align it
to clear_err_unit boundary is a TODO item for future.
