- virtio_pmem: The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized

persistent memory device that allows a guest VM to use DAX mechanisms to
   access a host-file with host-page-cache. It arranges for MAP_SYNC to
   be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync() when a 'write-cache
   flush' command is sent to the virtual disk device.
 
 - Miscellaneous small fixups.
