Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "1/ Fixes to the libnvdimm 'pfn' device that establishes a reserved
     area for storing a struct page array.

  2/ Fixes for dax operations on a raw block device to prevent pagecache
     collisions with dax mappings.

  3/ A fix for pfn_t usage in vm_insert_mixed that lead to a null
     pointer de-reference.

  These have received build success notification from the kbuild robot
  across 153 configs and pass the latest ndctl tests"

* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  phys_to_pfn_t: use phys_addr_t
  mm: fix pfn_t to page conversion in vm_insert_mixed
  block: use DAX for partition table reads

Mel reported stddev reporting was broken due to following commit:

	106a94a0f8c2 ("perf stat: Introduce read_counters function")

This commit merged interval and overall counters reading into single
read_counters function.

The old interval code cleaned the stddev data for some reason (it's
never displayed in interval mode) and the mentioned commit kept on
cleaning the stddev data in merged function, which resulted in the
stddev not being displayed.

Removing the wrong stddev data cleanup init_stats call.

This adds micro-benchmarks useful for tuning virtio ring layouts.
Three layouts are currently implemented:

- virtio 0.9 compatible one
- an experimental extension bypassing the ring index, polling ring
  itself instead
- an experimental extension bypassing avail and used ring completely

Typical use:

sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 10 --log-fd 1 -- ./ring

It doesn't depend on the kernel directly, but it's handy
to have as much virtio stuff as possible in one tree.
