objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include <bfd.h> Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>.

+title: Persistent Memory Regions
+
+description: |
+ Persistent memory refers to a class of memory devices that are:
+
+ a) Usable as main system memory (i.e. cacheable), and
+ b) Retain their contents across power failure.
+
+ Given b) it is best to think of persistent memory as a kind of memory mapped
+ storage device. To ensure data integrity the operating system needs to manage
+ persistent regions separately to the normal memory pool. To aid with that this
+ binding provides a standardised interface for discovering where persistent
+ memory regions exist inside the physical address space.
