'Memory mode' is defined as the capability of a DAX mapping to be the source/target of DMA and other "direct I/O" scenarios. While it currently requires allocating 'struct page' for each page frame of persistent memory in the namespace it will not always be the case. Work continues on reducing the kernel's dependency on 'struct page'. Let's not maintain a suffix that is expected to lose meaning over time. In other words a future 'raw mode' pmem namespace may be as capable as today's 'memory mode' namespace. Undo the encoding of the mode in the device name and leave it to other tooling to determine the mode of the namespace from its attributes.
