Even within a device, memory attributes for its various regions may not be
the same. There's a meaningful difference between writing to an NVMe CMB
vs PMR, and a single device could have both. We don't want to lump these
all together without knowing which region you're allocating from, right?
Yes, PMRs are a whole other beast. I have no idea what anyone is going
to actually do with those yet. But no one is proposing to publish them
as p2pmem with this code.
