Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ACPI 6.1 NFIT Compatibility

The latest NFIT specification clarifies that a memory device will have a
control region table per function interface.  Without the fix in [PATCH
1/3] Linux will miscount the number of DIMMs and fail to load the
driver.  The fix is tagged for -stable on the expectation that ACPI 6.1
compatible systems will overlap current -stable development branches.

The latter two patches in the series are verification tests that can be
integrated for 4.6.
