Description
I'm following https://pmem.io/2016/02/22/pm-emulation.html in order to emulate persistent memory. When it comes to reserve a memory region for pmem device on GRUB configuration I understand WSL doesn't have control over the RAM but is there any other way I can do to emulate the device?

Research direction
Start with the PMEM emulation guide linked in the issue, focusing on its GRUB memory-reservation step and the stated WSL limitation. Determine whether WSL 2 exposes another supported path for emulating the device; done means documenting a confirmed procedure or establishing that none is available.
