Actually it is easy to do, why? I do this here in the lab all the time.
with a "command line" with this code you see here.

[DDR3 NvDIMM which means I need memmap=16G\$32G on Kernel command line.
Then: modprobe pmem map=8G@32G,4G@44G,...
and so on Just as a simple example where 2/4-3/4 addresses are not used.
You can have holes in the middle or what ever you want. This here is just
a table in comma-separated format. If we need like flags in future we can
extend the format to nn@ss:flags, but I do no have any 3rd column yet]

And again I have in the pipe a dynamic interface added on top of
the module param one. So it will all be there soon. Without reverting
the old one.

Thanks
Boaz
