touché, but then did pmem hit latencies as high as 1.5-2us?

(I honestly don't know).

I'm just wondering how useful a 2mb page of memory at 1.5us per fetch
is, and whether we'll find it's almost always beneficial to promote that
page one first/second/third cache line fetch in some interval.  If you
always promote on first use, it's basically just super-swap - even if
the memory is still itself still byte-addressable.
