Please also include your nvdimm driver in your next 
submission (even if that is not part of the submission 
yet), so that we can see how the driver makes use of the 
new facility.

There's quite a bit of confusion about what means what, 
people are not of one opinion, and it's easier to see and 
check the fine code instead of making assumptions.

Thanks,
