The hardware is commercially available for more than half a year, thus
proper support is more urgent than it was when this bug was initially
filed.  At this time, the DIMMs work only with large servery machines,
for which large numbers of qemu VMs is one of most widespread uses.
Thus, it's important that qemu can use NVDIMMs in non-volatile modes.

The jemalloc issue: it's not used by libpmem{1,-dev} which is the part
you'd want to promote to main first.  Also, it's gone in the version
that will be released in January/February.

As for other architectures: arm64 has been fixed and passes tests
(although there's AFAIK still no hardware), ppc64el is being worked on.

If you want to promote only libpmem for now, pmdk-convert is not
required.

On the other hand, the dependency on ndctl (both libndctl and libdaxctl,
built by that source) is now effectively mandatory.
