"A host repsonse results in "host_ack" getting called" ... ?

Avoid the goto. Just move the following statements into an "else"
case.

return 0;

Then, drop the "else" case and "int rc" and do directly

if (virtio_pmem_flush(nd_region))
	return -EIO;

Nit: Wrong indentation of parameters.

I would initialize the locks in the virtio_pmem_probe() directly,
earlier (directly after allocating vpmem).

I'd drop this empty line.

dev_to_virtio(nd_region->dev.parent->parent);

Does it make sense to move some parts into separate functions for
readability? E.g., virtio_pmem_init_nvdimm_bus()

> +	return 0;
> +out_nd:
> +	err = -ENXIO;

I'd always initialize "err" along with the goto statement for
readability, especially because ...

> +	nvdimm_bus_unregister(vpmem->nvdimm_bus);
> +out_vq:

... you don't initialize err in this case. Err is here 0 if I am not wrong.

> +out_err:
> +	dev_err(&vdev->dev, "failed to register virtio pmem
memory\n");

Should we try to give more meaning full messages? I can think of
scenarios like "memory region is not properly aligned" or "out of
memory".

Is the nd_region implicitly cleaned up?

You are not freeing "vdev->priv".

"This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
