Hi all,
Virtio-pmem support has been added to kernel[1] and qemu[2] upstream. User document[3] has more details on how to use this new device.
We now need support in libvirt. Required support would be a subset of features already implemented for emulated nvdimm. We will use new virtio-pmem-pci device and don't require advance ACPI configurations.
Can libvirt upstream community implement libvirt support for virtio pmem to complete the entire stack.
It looks like pmem would fit as just another type of memory device in libvirt's world. ie <memory model='virtio-pmem'>..</memory>: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMemory In terms of impl it is mostly just a case of finding everywhere in the code that references nvdimm and adding equivalent for pmem.
