[PATCH v2 0/5] NVDIMM suport for pSeries guests

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

Ping


Also CC'ing Shiva since he implemented the QEMU side of this feature and
might be interested in it.

Shiva, mind tossing a review in patch 3/5? This is the one that contains
the alignment logic and I'd like to be certain that I didn't mess it up.


Thanks,


DHB
