Hi Dan and Jens,

this series fixed a regression in how the dax/write_cache attribute of the
pmem devices was registere.  It does so by both fixing the API abuse in the
driver and (temporarily) the behavior change in the block layer that made
this API abuse not work anymore.

The recent block layer refactoring broke the way how the pmem driver
abused device_add_disk.  Fix this by properly passing the attribute groups
to device_add_disk.

dax_attribute_group is only used by the pmem driver, and can avoid the
completely pointless lookup by the disk name if moved there.  This
leaves just a single caller of dax_get_by_host, so move dax_get_by_host
into the same ifdef block as that caller.

The proper API is to pass the groups to device_add_disk, but the code
used to also allow groups being set before calling *add_disk.  Warn
about that but keep the group pointer intact for now so that it can
be removed again after a grace period.

Hi Dan and Jens,

this series fixed a regression in how the dax/write_cache attribute of the

this API abuse not work anymore.
