Two totally different use cases:

 - a card that exposes directly byte addressable storage as a PCI-e
   bar.  Thin of it as a nvdimm on a PCI-e card.  That's the iopmem
   case.
 - the NVMe CMB which exposes a byte addressable indirection buffer for
   I/O, but does not actually provide byte addressable persistent
   storage.  This is something that needs to be added to the NVMe driver
   (and the block layer for the abstraction probably).
