So this allows regular memory to be specified directly.
This needs to be split out and merged separately
from acpi/nvdimm bits.
Alternatively, if it's possible to use nvdimm with DAX fs
(similar to hugetlbfs), leave these patches off for now.

Looks like we are still calling mkstemp/unlink here.
How does this work?
