At a minimum this device registration should move to the end of the patchset once all the libnvdimm generic enabling is done. Even then I think the libnvdimm core has all the hooks you need to provide device specific enabling *through* the existing interfaces. Have a look at the how the ACPI NFIT bus driver provides "nfit/" scoped sysfs attributes and tunnels "struct nd_cmd_pkg" ioctl invocations to either the bus or "dimm" level device objects. The dimm security model is an example of an implementation that wraps a libnvdimm-generic sysfs front-end to an intel-specific-device backend. It would be unfortunate to need to invent another ABI.
