This release incorporates functionality up to the 4.16 kernel, and
a number of bug fixes and improvements.

Highlights include new ACPI error injection DSM support, a variety
of smart enhancements that include getting and setting thresholds,
injecting smart attribute values and flags, support for firmware update,
and fixes for a BTT padding incompatibility.

Commands:
    ndctl inject-error - new command for media error injection
    ndctl disable-region - check for mounted namespaces
    ndctl {create,destroy}-namespace - clarify --force option
    ndctl create-namespace - clarify autolabel failures and fallback
    ndctl list - use 'fsdax' and 'devdax' modes
    ndctl update-firmware - new command for firmware update
    ndctl inject-smart - new command for setting smart thresholds
        and injecting arrtibutes

Tests:
    inject-error: new test for the error injection interfaces
    btt-errors: new test for media error handling in the BTT
    smart-listen: test for listening for smart triggers
    smart-notify: generate smart notifications
    hugetlb: test hugetlb faults
    btt-pad-incompat: regression test for the old and new versions
        of the btt log padding format

highlights include a new 'daxctl io' command for device-dax i/o, support
for the new capabilities of v1.2 namespace labels as defined by the UEFI
2.7 specification, expanded 'ndctl list' data and filtering
capabilities, and support for translating badblocks to the affected
dimm(s).

    ndctl list: add a 'human readable' output option
    ndctl list: support filtering by any device type
    ndctl list: display numa nodes
    ndctl list: display dimm interleave-set positions
    ndctl create-namespace: fix multiple device-dax-per-region support
    ndctl create-namespace: support sector size setting for pmem namespaces
    ndctl init-labels: v1.2 label specification support

Tests:
    multi-dax: test support for multiple device-dax-per-region
    dpa-alloc: update for v1.2 labels

Apis:
    ndctl_bus_get_region_by_physical_address: address to region translation
    ndctl_bus_get_dimm_by_physical_address: address to dimm translation
    ndctl_dimm_read_labels: helper to retrieve the DIMM's label area
    ndctl_dimm_validate_labels: parse namespace indices and labels
    ndctl_dimm_init_labels: write new namespace indices
    ndctl_dimm_sizeof_namespace_label: parse namespace label size
