The libnd does not support memdev->flags, which contains "Memory Device
State Flags" defined in Table 5-129 of ACPI 6.0. In case of major
errors, we should only allow a failed NVDIMM be accessed with read-only
for possible data recovery (or not allow any access when the data is
completely lost), and should not let users operate normally over the
corrupted data until the error is dealt properly.
Can you set memdev->flags to nd_region(_desc) so that the pmem driver
can check the status in nd_pmem_probe()? nd_pmem_probe() can then set
the disk read-only or fail probing, and log errors accordingly.
