(5) Representing an mpool as a /dev/mpool/<mpool-name> device file provides a
convenient mechanism for controlling access to and managing the multiple storage
volumes, and in the future pmem devices, that may comprise an logical mpool.
Christoph and I have talked about replacing the pmem driver's
dependence on device-mapper for pooling.
Was this discussion done publicly or private?  If public please share
a pointer to the thread.

I'd really like to understand the problem statement that is leading to
pursuing a pmem native alternative to existing DM.

Thanks,
Mike
