The following change to QEMU:
diff --git a/hw/i386/pc.c b/hw/i386/pc.c
index 51b3050d01..c6a78d83c0 100644

Yeah, sorry, int he first example, dax0.0 should be missing (on a fresh
QEMU instance instead of after a reboot).

No, that's sufficient.

It's a tool located in Linux tools/vm/page-types.
So with two printk's, I can spot:
[ 24.185558] section_deactivate(): depopulate_section_memmap
[ 24.202689] pmem0: detected capacity change from 0 to 16777216
[ 24.229747] section_activate(): early_section, not populating memmap
[ 24.229777] memmap_init_zone_device initialised 3584 pages in 0ms
But nothing actually breaks .... because *drummroll* we use huge pages in the vmemmap,
so the partial depopulate will not actually depopulate anything here. Huge page is 2M,
the memmap of 128MB sections is exactly 2MB == one hugepages. Trying to depopulate a
fraction (e.g., 16MB) of that won't do anything.
Now, forcing a CPU without hugepages - PSE (QEMU: "-cpu host,pse=off)", I can trigger
via ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --size=16M
