The multiplicate / divison using 512 could use shifts using
SECTOR_SHIFT.

All these functions lack a pmem_ prefix.

This look odd.  I think just returing the cleared byte value would
make much more sense:

static long __pmem_clear_poison(struct pmem_device *pmem,
		phys_addr_t offset, unsigned int len)
{
	long cleared = nvdimm_clear_poison(to_dev(pmem), phys, len);

	if (cleared > 0) {
		clear_hwpoison(pmem, offset, cleared);
		arch_invalidate_pmem(pmem->virt_addr + offset, len);
	}

	return cleared;
}
