    acpi/nfit: Add support for Intel DSM 1.8 commands · b3ed2ce0
    Dave Jiang authored
    Add command definition for security commands defined in Intel DSM
    specification v1.8 [1]. This includes "get security state", "set
    passphrase", "unlock unit", "freeze lock", "secure erase", "overwrite",
    "overwrite query", "master passphrase enable/disable", and "master
    erase", . Since this adds several Intel definitions, move the relevant
    bits to their own header.
    
    These commands mutate physical data, but that manipulation is not cache
    coherent. The requirement to flush and invalidate caches makes these
    commands unsuitable to be called from userspace, so extra logic is added
    to detect and block these commands from being submitted via the ioctl
    command submission path.
    
    Lastly, the commands may contain sensitive key material that should not
    be dumped in a standard debug session. Update the nvdimm-command
    payload-dump facility to move security command payloads behind a
    default-off compile time switch.
