Nope.  Since the announcement of pmem as a product, I have had 15
minutes of acces to one preproduction prototype server with actual
optane DIMMs in them.

I have /never/ had access to real hardware to test any of this, so it's
all configured via libvirt to simulate pmem in qemu:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/YzXsavOWMSuwTBEC@magnolia/

/run/mtrdisk/[gh].mem are both regular files on a tmpfs filesystem:

$ grep mtrdisk /proc/mounts
none /run/mtrdisk tmpfs rw,relatime,size=82894848k,inode64 0 0

$ ls -la /run/mtrdisk/[gh].mem
-rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 10739515392 Oct 24 18:09 /run/mtrdisk/g.mem
-rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 10739515392 Oct 24 19:28 /run/mtrdisk/h.mem
