Subject: [PATCH] pmem: Add prints at module load and unload

Hi Christoph, Ingo

Please consider this small patch below just a small print at module
load/unload so to know at user systems how things progressed.
As it is now, we know nothing. For any other disk kind we have two
tuns of prints.

Subject: [PATCH] pmem: Add prints at module load and unload

When debugging people's systems it is helpful
to see what went on. The load and unload of pmem is
an important event.

The importance is the number of loaded devices and
error status. The exact device's addresses created
we can see from the other prints at e820 so no need
to duplicate this information.

While at it fix up a small issue with rw flags.
