   should be doing
 - no reflink support, encompassing:
 - hwpoison from mmap regions really ought to tell the fs that bad stuff
   happened
 - mm rmap can't handle more than one owner
My main really big item is that we're still mounting through a fake
block device, suporting partitions and all that crap.  We need to sort
out the whole story of how pmem/nvdimm is actually treated, because
what we have right now is not sustainable at all.
