Patch just changes type of of linker variables to
a structure, there aren't any functional changes.
Converting linker to a structure will allow to extend
it functionality in follow up patch adding sanity blob
checks.

32 bits IO port starting from 0x0a18 in guest is reserved for NVDIMM
ACPI emulation. The table, NVDIMM_DSM_MEM_FILE, will be patched into
NVDIMM ACPI binary code
OSPM uses this port to tell QEMU the final address of the DSM memory
and notify QEMU to emulate the DSM method

NFIT is defined in ACPI 6.0: 5.2.25 NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT)
Currently, we only support PMEM mode. Each device has 3 structures:
- SPA structure, defines the PMEM region info
- MEM DEV structure, it has the @handle which is used to associate specified
ACPI NVDIMM device we will introduce in later patch.
Also we can happily ignored the memory device's interleave, the real
nvdimm hardware access is hidden behind host
- DCR structure, it defines vendor ID used to associate specified vendor
nvdimm driver. Since we only implement PMEM mode this time, Command
window and Data window are not needed
The NVDIMM functionality is controlled by the parameter, 'nvdimm', which
is introduced for the machine, there is a example to enable it:
-machine pc,nvdimm -m 8G,maxmem=100G,slots=100 -object \
memory-backend-file,id=mem1,share,mem-path=/tmp/nvdimm1,size=10G -device \
nvdimm,memdev=mem1,id=nv1
It is disabled on default
