No, I don't think so.

They can DMA to persistent memory whether this patch set exists or not.
So, if the hardware falls over, that's a separate problem.

If an app wants memory that performs in a particular way, then I would
suggest those app find the NUMA nodes on the system that match their
needs with these patches:

and use the existing NUMA APIs to select that memory.
