I've gone ahead and added this to the libnvdimm-for-next branch for
wider exposure. Acks of course still welcome.
Stephen, this collides with commit 357b4da50a62 "x86: respect memory
size limiting via mem= parameter" in current -next. Here's my
resolution for reference, basically just add the max_mem_size
statement to Dave's rework. Holler if this causes any other problems.
