Are all these headers really needed? delay.h? oom.h?

Can you add a generic flush callback to libnvdimm instead? That way
virtio and other drivers can hook in without hardcoding knowledge of
these drivers into libnvdimm.

This is a userspace API header file, it should contain definitions that
userspace programs need. struct virtio_pmem is a kernel-internal struct
that should not be in the uapi headers.
Only define virtio spec structs in this header file (e.g. config space,
request structs, etc).

Why is static variable in the header file?

This only implements flush command submission, not completion. Maybe
the next patch will implement that but it's a little strange to only see
half of the flush operation.
Please put the whole flush operation in one patch so it can be reviewed
easily. At this point I don't know if you've forgotten to implement
wait for completion.

I'm surprised this compiles without a warning. String literals should
be constant but the char pointer isn't constant.

Is any locking necessary? Two CPUs must not invoke virtio_pmem_flush()
at the same time. Not sure if anything guarantees this, maybe you're
relying on libnvdimm but I haven't checked.
