SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/4] nvdimm: Add wrapper for IOCTL pass thru.

Can't you just make passthrough a separate command? If you actually add
the ioctl definition for passthrough (which you didn't do for some
reason?), it looks odd:

#define ND_IOCTL_PASSTHRU _IOWR(NVDIMM_TYPE_PASSTHRU,, ND_CMD_PASSTHRU, \
struct ndn_package)

Care to comment on why you chose a different type instead of specifying
a new command?

Please change that to:
__u8 *buf;
since acpi_object.buffer.pointer is a u8 *.

Note that the size of this structure will be different for 32 vs. 64
bit, but I don't think it matters since offsets won't change (the
pointer is at the end of the structure).
