s/ammount/amount/ (also below)

I wonder if "p2pdma" would be a more suggestive term?  It's not really
the *memory* that is peer-to-peer; the peer-to-peer part is referring
to *access* to the memory.

Not sure the warning (by itself) is worthwhile.  If we were going to
disable the feature if sysfs_create_group() failed, that's one thing,
but we aren't doing anything except generating a warning, which the
user can't really do anything with.  If the user is looking for the
sysfs file, its absence will be obvious even without the message.
