How about a module parameter to opt-in to the increased permanent
capacity loss?

Subject: [PATCH] nvdimm: Support sizeof(struct page) > MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE
Commit 6e9f05dc66f9 ("libnvdimm/pfn_dev: increase MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE")
...updated MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE to account for sizeof(struct page)
potentially doubling in the case of CONFIG_KMSAN=y. Unfortunately this
doubles the amount of capacity stolen from user addressable capacity for
everyone, regardless of whether they are using the debug option. Revert
that change, mandate that MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE never exceed 64, but
allow for debug scenarios to proceed with creating debug sized page maps
with a new 'libnvdimm.page_struct_override' module parameter.
Note that this only applies to cases where the page map is permanent,
i.e. stored in a reservation of the pmem itself ("--map=dev" in "ndctl
create-namespace" terms). For the "--map=mem" case, since the allocation
is ephemeral for the lifespan of the namespace, there are no explicit
restriction. However, the implicit restriction, of having enough
available "System RAM" to store the page map for the typically large
pmem, still applies.
