Hi

I also tested the addional cases on arm64

1, 4k page size + devdax + --map=mem

2, 64k page size + devdax + --map=mem

3, 4k page size + devdax + --map=dev

4, 64k page size + devdax + --map=dev

case 4 is important to verify Anshuman's this series.

Host kernel: 5.7-rc3

guest kernel: 5.7-rc5 with this series

ndctl: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/tree/c7767834871 
<https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/tree/c7767834871f7ce50a2abe1da946e9e16fb08eda>

On the guest:

1. ./ndctl/.libs/ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --map=dev 
-s 1g -f -v -a 64K

  echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
  echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id

The 1g block was added

2. echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/online

modprobe -r dax_pmem

The 1g block was removed


Some minor fix should be applied which is not relevant to this series itself. 
e.g numa id

Cheers,
