5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com
commit fa7d2e639cd90442d868dfc6ca1d4cc9d8bf206e upstream.
For recovery, where non-dax access is needed to a given physical address range, and testing, allow the 'force_raw' attribute to override the default establishment of a dev_pagemap.
Otherwise without this capability it is possible to end up with a namespace that can not be activated due to corrupted info-block, and one that can not be repaired due to a section collision.
