This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.0 kernel, and adds a
number of bug fixes and improvements.
Highlights include a migration path for the new dax-bus ABI, several
cleanups to ndctl-monitor, support for firmware status translation,
displaying the supported_alignments attribute, and using it in the
namespace creation process, and support for security operations as
defined in the Intel DSM specification.
