Dan Williams 9702cffdbf device-dax: implement ->split() to catch invalid munmap attempts
Similar to how device-dax enforces that the 'address', 'offset', and
'len' parameters to mmap() be aligned to the device's fundamental
alignment, the same constraints apply to munmap().  Implement ->split()
to fail munmap calls that violate the alignment constraint.

Otherwise, we later fail VM_BUG_ON checks in the unmap_page_range() path
with crash signatures of the form:

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.
