Patchset adds performance stats reporting support for nvdimm.
Added interface includes support for a pmu register function and
callbacks to be used by arch/platform specific drivers.
User could use standard perf tool to access perf events exposed via pmu.
Patchset adds a structure called nvdimm_pmu which can
be used to add platform specific data like supported event list and
callbacks to pmu functions like event_init/add/delete/read.
Patchset includes an implements the to expose IBM pseries platform nmem*
device performance stats using this interface.

Patch1:
Introduces the nvdimm_pmu structure, common function for pmu
register along with callback routine check.
Pacth2
Add code in arch/powerpc/platform/pseries/papr_scm.c to expose
nmem* pmu. It fills in the nvdimm_pmu structure with event attrs
and event callback functions and then registers the pmu by adding
callback to register_nvdimm_pmu.
Patch3:
Sysfs documentation patch
Patch4:
Adds cpuhotplug support.
