Currently the only vNVDIMM backend can guarantee the guest write
persistence is device DAX on Linux, because no host-side kernel cache
is involved in the guest access to it. The approach to detect whether
the backend is device DAX needs to access sysfs, which may not work
with SELinux.
Instead, we add the 'unarmed' option to device 'nvdimm', so that users
or management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend,
can control the unarmed flag in guest ACPI NFIT via this option. The
guest Linux NVDIMM driver, for example, will mark the corresponding
vNVDIMM device read-only if the unarmed flag in guest NFIT is set.
The default value of 'unarmed' option is 'off' in order to keep the
backwards compatibility.

The buffer is used to save the FIT info for all the presented nvdimm
devices which is updated after the nvdimm device is plugged or
unplugged. In the later patch, it will be used to construct NVDIMM
ACPI _FIT method which reflects the presented nvdimm devices after
nvdimm hotplug
As FIT buffer can not completely mapped into guest address space,
OSPM will exit to QEMU multiple times, however, there is the race
condition - FIT may be changed during these multiple exits, so that
some rules are introduced:
1) the user should hold the @lock to access the buffer and
2) mark @dirty whenever the buffer is updated.
@dirty is cleared for the first time OSPM gets fit buffer, if
dirty is detected in the later access, OSPM will restart the
access
As fit should be updated after nvdimm device is successfully realized
so that a new hotplug callback, post_hotplug, is introduced

For each NVDIMM present or intended to be supported by platform,
platform firmware also exposes an ACPI Namespace Device under
the root device
So it builds nvdimm devices for all slots to support vNVDIMM hotplug

Introduce a parameter, 'label-size', which is the size of nvdimm label
data area which is reserved at the end of backend memory. It is required
at least 128k
Two callbacks, read_label_data() and write_label_data(), are used to
operate the label area

'table' argument in bios_linker_add_foo() commands is
a data blob of one of files also passed to the same API.
So instead of passing blob in every API call, add and keep
file name association with related blob at bios_linker_loader_alloc()
time.
And find blob by name looking up allocated file entries
inside of bios_linker_add_foo() commands.
It will:
- make API less confusing,
- enforce calling bios_linker_loader_alloc() before
calling any bios_linker_add_foo()
- make sure that blob is the correct one, i.e.
associated with the right file name

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
