Why a new lock and not continue to use ->pmem_lock?

Have you tested this with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING?

Along those lines do you have a selftest that can be added to the
kernel as well so that 0day or other bots could offer early warnings
on regressions?

This name is too generic to be exported from drivers/nvdimm/nd_virtio.c

...it strikes me that there is little reason for nd_virtio and
virtio_pmem to be separate modules. They are both enabled by the same
Kconfig, so why not combine them into one module and drop the exports?
