Yes Adam, my commit should have mentioned that! Maybe even referenced
"https://docs.pmem.io/getting-started-guide/creating-development-
environments/linux-environments/linux-memmap" or some other doc about
it.

Thanks for pointing that out!

I'll rephrase that, so others willing to do autopkgtest may consider
testing with memmap as well. If the "-e" option works, I think most of
the scripts being included shall work. I might have to "skip" some tests
whenever memcg is being used if they're not good.

Since these tests are likely not being ran in bileto, for every new
merge/fix, as neither kvm nvdimm emulation nor kernel cmdlines can be
provided in that environment, I'll keep things as is for now, if
everyone agrees (after changing the commit log).

I haven't tested all scripts I'm including with "memmap=" cmdline
because I was also worried about supporting QEMU nvdimm support, so I
was killing 2 birds w/ a single stone in this effort.

So, for now, the regressions test would be done manually anyway.

For a next step, when merging this back to Debian (so I can put the
package back to syncpackage), I, perhaps, could spend more time into
this and split those tests that would work with memmap= , those that
would work with both, memmap= and qemu emulation, and those only working
with HW.

Sounds good for you ?
