In an earlier version, I added a "type" argument to ndctl_fn and switched
internally based upon that. I just came to the conclusion that I'd rather
have two separate acpi_nfit_ctl functions than one trying to do both sets
of argument marshaling. This is quite different both internally and
to the caller.
So, I thought it would be less confusing to the next engineer, and that
this was a good logical separation point.
