Looks fine,

Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@...hat.com>

However, now that you've drawn attention to that code, I'll note that
there is no checking of the pending or retry bits.  In fact,
ACPI_NFIT_CONTROL_BUFFERED isn't even checked upon loading the tables.
Is this on a todo list somewhere?

Cheers,
Jeff
