Just FYI, in case folks are still testing -next:

One other issue that I was hitting was that for many of the commits in -next
kernel modules wouldn't load, which meant that my /dev/pmem0 device wasn't
showing up because I have libnvdimm compiled as a module.

I bisected that issue to this commit:

commit d1091c7fa3d5 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead
ends")

It looks like Xiong also found this issue:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/2/114

And Linus found it:
