The SPA ids are published numbers, so it's safe (if not a bit
annoying) to copy them into a source file.

The NVDIMM root device is parent to the individual ACPI NVDIMM
devices. Add a driver for the NVDIMM root device that can own
enumeration of NVDIMM devices as well as NVDIMM SPA ranges that the
system has.

Driver enumerates NVDIMMs. Besides, for each found System Physical
Address (SPA) range, spaN geom provider is created, which allows
formatting and mounting the region as the normal volume. Also,
/dev/nvdimm_spaN node is created, which can be read/written/mapped by
userspace, the mapping is zero-copy.
No support for block access methods implemented, labels are not
parsed. No management interfaces are provided.
