This is true, however, given that it was not all that desirable to have it under drivers/nvdimm, it's sister driver (for the same hardware) is also under arch, and that we don't expect this driver to be used on any platform other than powernv, we think this was the most reasonable place to put it. -- Alastair D'Silva Open Source Developer Linux Technology Centre, IBM Australia mob: 0423 762 819
