Overall I really like this approach. It makes things simpler, removes
unneeded code and most importantly removes the ability for the user to have a
configuration where the PMEM / memmap reservation via the command line don't
match the parameters given to pmem.
What needed to be fixed with the partition support? I used to have real
numbers for first_minor and passed into alloc_disk(), but simplified it based
on code found in this commit in the nvme driver:
469071a37afc NVMe: Dynamically allocate partition numbers
This has worked fine for me - is there some test case in which it breaks?
