> Subject: [ndctl PATCH v5 6/6] libndctl,papr_scm: Implement support for
> PAPR_PDSM_HEALTH
> 
> Add support for reporting DIMM health and shutdown state by issuing
> PAPR_PDSM_HEALTH request to papr_scm module. It returns an instance of
> 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_health' as defined in 'papr_pdsm.h'. The patch
> provides support for dimm-ops 'new_smart', 'smart_get_health' &
> 'smart_get_shutdown_state' as newly introduced functions
> papr_new_smart_health(), papr_smart_get_health() &
> papr_smart_get_shutdown_state() respectively. These callbacks should
> enable ndctl to report DIMM health.
> 
> Also a new member 'struct dimm_priv.health' is introduced which holds the
> current health status of the dimm. This member is set inside newly added
> function 'update_dimm_health_v1()' which parses the v1 payload returned
> by the kernel after servicing PAPR_PDSM_HEALTH. The function will also
> update dimm-flags viz 'struct ndctl_dimm.flags.f_*'
> based on the flags set in the returned payload.

I don't understand this. The kernel is caching this, why does libndctl need to 
cache it?
