...by reusing the namespace id for the device-dax instance name.
Now that we have decided that there will never by more than one
device-dax instance per libnvdimm-namespace parent device [1], we can
directly reuse the namepace ids. There are some possible follow-on
cleanups, but those are saved for a later patch to simplify the -stable
backport.

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.
