As per ACPI spec 6.3, Table 19-419 Object Conversion Rules, if
the Buffer Field <= to the size of an Integer (in bits), it will
be treated as an integer. Moreover, the integer size depends on
DSDT tables revision number. If revision number is < 2, integer
size is 32 bits, otherwise it is 64 bits. Current NVDIMM common
DSM aml code (NCAL) uses CreateField() for creating DSM output
buffer. This creates an issue in arm/virt platform where DSDT
revision number is 2 and results in DSM buffer with a wrong
size(8 bytes) gets returned when actual length is < 8 bytes.
This causes guest kernel to report,
"nfit ACPI0012:00: found a zero length table '0' parsing nfit"
In order to fix this, aml code is now modified such that it builds
the DSM output buffer in a byte by byte fashion when length is
smaller than Integer size.
