We are going to have 2-socket systems with 6TB of persistent memory in
them.  I think it's important to design this mechanism so that it scales
to memory sizes like that and supports large mmap()s.

I'm not sure the application you've seen thus far are very
representative of what we want to design for.

We have a patch pending to introduce a new mmap flag that pmem aware
applications can set to eliminate any kind of flushing. MMAP_PMEM_AWARE.

Great!  Do you have a link so that I can review it and compare it to
Ross's approach?
