If we we assume that a setup is *either* memmap based or NFIT based, we can
choose whether to use jq & ndctl by grepping for "memmap" with a trailing "!"
in /proc/cmdline.

If you think we need to worry about the case where users have both a valid
NFIT and a memmap kernel command line param making them a PMEM region, this
shortcut won't work.
