Curretly, the memory region of backed memory is directly mapped to
guest's address space, however, it is not true for nvdimm device

This patch let dimm device realize this fact and use
DIMMDeviceClass->get_memory_region method to get the mapped memory
region

Isn't it better to add Error** parameter to get_memory_region and not 
mix returning error in errp parameter and aborting through &error_abort?

Yes, it's better, will do. Thanks for your suggestion.

Vladimir,

After checking the current code, the @errp in pc-dimm's get_memory_region() is useless
and all its caller did not check the return value as they assumed the backend memory of
pc-dimm is always properly initialized.

So we catch the error condition internally instead of propagating it to the caller:

  static MemoryRegion *pc_dimm_get_memory_region(DIMMDevice *dimm)
  {
-    return host_memory_backend_get_memory(dimm->hostmem, &error_abort);
+    Error *local_err = NULL;
+    MemoryRegion *mr;
+
+    mr = host_memory_backend_get_memory(dimm->hostmem, &local_err);
+
+    /*
+     * plug a pc-dimm device whose backend memory was not properly
+     * initialized?
+     */
+    assert(!local_err && mr);
+    return mr;
  }

please review it in the new version i have CCed you.

Thanks for your review.
