806864d9a8 nvdimm acpi: introduce _FIT
_FIT is required for hotplug support, guest will inquire the updated
device info from it if a hotplug event is received

As FIT buffer is not completely mapped into guest address space, so a
new function, Read FIT whose UUID is UUID
648B9CF2-CDA1-4312-8AD9-49C4AF32BD62, handle 0x10000, function index
is 0x1, is reserved by QEMU to read the piece of FIT buffer. The buffer
is concatenated before _FIT return

Refer to docs/specs/acpi-nvdimm.txt for detailed design
