Yes, this works nicely. :-)
Now, how do I unbind BTT? I did the following as a guess, but BTT got
reattached again before I have a chance to delete the metadata, which I
need /dev/pmemN.
NUM=1
cd /sys/bus/nd/devices
echo "" > btt${NUM}.1/namespace
echo btt${NUM}.1 > ../drivers/nd_pmem/unbind
echo namespace${NUM}.0 > ../drivers/nd_pmem/bind
