Nit: I tend to find code easier to read if variable declarations
with assignments are above those without.

Also I don't think we need the page variable here.

pmem_do_write returns a blk_status_t, so the type of rc and the > check
seem odd.  But I think pmem_do_write (and pmem_do_read) might be better
off returning a normal errno anyway.
