Yes, that makes things much cleaner.  Revised patch and changelog below:

8<----
Subject: x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM.  This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.

The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available.  When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.

The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains.  Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.

arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()".  Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.

Should it be better to do:

#else	/* !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API */
#define ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM MEMREMAP_WT

so that you can remove all '#ifdef ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM' stuff?

Thanks,

Yeah, that seems like a nice incremental cleanup for memremap_pmem()
to just unconditionally use ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM, feel free to send it
along.
