IMHO, you don't gain much by splitting off this function...

I'm personally not a fan of chained assignments... I think I'd just
drop the 'vq' variable and operate on vpmem->req_vq directly.

Maybe s/config disabled/config access disabled/ ? That seems to be the
more common message.

Here, the vpmem variable makes sense for convenience, but I'm again not
a fan of the chaining :)

And here :)

Isn't it clear that this parent chain will always end up at &vdev->dev?
Maybe simply set ->provider_data to vdev directly? (Does it need to
grab a reference count of the device, BTW?)

Probably better to do this check before you access nd_region's
members :)

I haven't followed this around the nvdimm code, but is the nd_region
you created during probe cleaned up automatically, or would you need to
do something here?

You allocated vpmem via devm_kzalloc; isn't it freed automatically on
remove?

Only looked at this from the general virtio driver angle; seems fine
apart from some easy-to-fix issues and some personal style preference
things.
