Matias Bjørling 5e60edb7dc lightnvm: rename gennvm and update description
The generic manager should be called the general media manager, and
instead of using the rather long name of "gennvm" in front of each data
structures, use "gen" instead to shorten it. Update the description of
the media manager as well to make the media manager purpose clearer.

bool "Open-Channel SSD target support"
depends on BLOCK
help
Say Y here to get to enable Open-channel SSDs.
Open-Channel SSDs implement a set of extension to SSDs, that
exposes direct access to the underlying non-volatile memory.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled
only do this if you know what you are doing.
if NVM
config NVM_DEBUG
bool "Open-Channel SSD debugging support"
default n
---help---
Exposes a debug management interface to create/remove targets at:
/sys/module/lnvm/parameters/configure_debug
It is required to create/remove targets without IOCTLs.
config NVM_GENNVM
tristate "General Non-Volatile Memory Manager for Open-Channel SSDs"
---help---
Non-volatile memory media manager for Open-Channel SSDs that implements
physical media metadata management and block provisioning API.
This is the standard media manager for using Open-Channel SSDs, and
required for targets to be instantiated.
config NVM_RRPC
tristate "Round-robin Hybrid Open-Channel SSD target"
---help---
Allows an open-channel SSD to be exposed as a block device to the
host. The target is implemented using a linear mapping table and
cost-based garbage collection. It is optimized for 4K IO sizes.
