This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.10 kernel.
Highlights include support for the new device-dax subdivision
functionality added in Linux in v5.10, including ways to create smaller
devdax devices using daxctl/libdaxctl, as well as creating, listing, and
restoring from a config dump, 'mappings' on these devices. Other updates
include several static analysis fixups, reworking the license
identification scheme for different sub-components, and a fix for the
reconfigure-in-place workflow which tries to retain device names.
