Right now, the guidance should be to always use btt since there are no
applications that are directly taking advantage of persistent memory
(that I know).  I expect documentation would take care of that.  I also
expect that, as applications add support, they would note the
requirement for dax mountpoints in their documentation.

So, "the people" find out the same way they always have.  :)

Cheers,
Jeff
