Hi!
There are three persistent memory engines shipped in upstream source. Please
enable them, all that needs to be done is bringing in B-Depends.
In case you don't have access to the hardware, you can emulate pmem by:
* append memmap=4G!12G to kernel's cmdline (this will steal 4GB of memory,
starting at address 12GB), reboot
* use ndctl to set mode:
+ fsdax:
ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 -m fsdax
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/pmem0
mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /some/where
chown you /some/where
+ devdax:
ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 -m devdax
chown you /dev/dax0.0
Trivial patch attached, also as

Meow!
