drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memory

PMEM is a new driver that presents a reserved range of memory as
a block device.  This is useful for developing with NV-DIMMs,
and can be used with volatile memory as a development platform.

This patch contains the initial driver from Ross Zwisler, with
various changes: converted it to use a platform_device for
discovery, fixed partition support and merged various patches
from Boaz Harrosh.
