OK but I can't review this patch on top of patch.
Please split this in aml-build and nvdimm changes,
then squash the am-build change with my patch and include it
as 5/8, then append yours squashed with the nvdimm.c changes.

Rename it something that implies what it does, not it's value. Offset of
what is it?

For example
	nvdimm_ssdt = table_data->len;

Here too, please give it a better name
	mem_addr_offset = ....; ?
