And to make matters worse, we have two competing user-space programs:

This leads to races and/or inconsistencies.

Would it help if generic udev memory hotplug rule exclude anything that
is dax backed? Is there a way to check for that? Sorry if this is a
stupid question.
Parsing /proc/iomem, it's indicated as "System RAM (kmem)".
