1] Expose vNVDIMM memory range to KVM guest.
- Add flag in ACPI NFIT table for this new memory type. Do we need NVDIMM spec
changes for this?
Not a flag, but a new "Address Range Type GUID". See section "5.2.25.2
System Physical Address (SPA) Range Structure" in the ACPI 6.2A
specification. Since it is a GUID we could define a Linux specific
type for this case, but spec changes would allow non-Linux hypervisors
to advertise a standard interface to guests.
