This is another reason to use ndctl and not sysfs directly. After the
create-namespace command the namespace is "claimed" by a pfn-device
instance which writes metadata to the device to indicate where the
struct page memmap is located. In this case the sysfs path for the
parent device is a pfn-device. So the "device/mode" link is pointing
to:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/region2/pfn2.0/mode
...and in that case "pmem" means that the struct page memmap is being
allocated on the pmem range directly.
