Hooray!

I just realized this collides with the dev_pagemap release rework in
Andrew's tree (commit ids below are from next.git and are not stable)

4422ee8476f0 mm/devm_memremap_pages: fix final page put race
771f0714d0dc PCI/P2PDMA: track pgmap references per resource, not globally
af37085de906 lib/genalloc: introduce chunk owners
e0047ff8aa77 PCI/P2PDMA: fix the gen_pool_add_virt() failure path
0315d47d6ae9 mm/devm_memremap_pages: introduce devm_memunmap_pages
216475c7eaa8 drivers/base/devres: introduce devm_release_action()

Perhaps we should pull those out and resend them through hmm.git?

It also turns out the nvdimm unit tests crash with this signature on
that branch where base v5.2-rc3 passes:
