You can do it in KVM, just boot with the memmap=ss!nn parameter to
simulate pmem. In this case I'm booting with memmap=4G!8G, you should
also specify "nokaslr".
> If yes, could you share the test-case?
Yes, run:
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS='-g -O0' --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--libdir=/usr/lib64
make TESTS=device-dax check
...from a checkout of the ndctl project:
https://github.com/pmem/ndctl
Let me know if you run into any problems getting the test to build or run.

No it wasn't, the test runs fine with v4.11-rc7, so perhaps I'm
looking in the wrong place...
