I do not see why you need the nvdimm_type= kernel option at all.
I have here a script that auto detects any NvDIMM. It works with all
the chips that I have access to. And Also it has support for if you have
memmap=sss\$aaa.
For all these detected regions it will load a pmem device.
It is easy to filter for any type of memory you want. What
will the (annoying) kernel option give you?
OK I might be jumping the guns, send the patch and I'll look
at it.
The kernel option means we can autodetect the nvdimms in kernel space
with just that option set, no need for needing userspace setup.
How does your script / patch work?
I won't be back to my nvdimm enabled hardware until after LSF/MM,
so any work from me in this area will have to wait a bit.
