Dan Williams 4e4f00a9b5 x86, dax, libnvdimm: remove wb_cache_pmem() indirection
With all handling of the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API case being moved to
libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly we do not need to provide global
wrappers and fallbacks in the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API=n case. The pmem
driver will simply not link to arch_wb_cache_pmem() in that case.  Same
as before, pmem flushing is only defined for x86_64, via
clean_cache_range(), but it is straightforward to add other archs in the
future.

arch_wb_cache_pmem() is an exported function since the pmem module needs
to find it, but it is privately declared in drivers/nvdimm/pmem.h because
there are no consumers outside of the pmem driver.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
