I don't think that it's a good idea to set perf_level of a memory device
(node) via NFIT only.

For example, we may prefer HMAT over NFIT when it's available.  So the
perf_level should be set in dax/kmem.c based on information provided by
ACPI or other information sources.  ACPI can provide some functions/data
structures to let drivers (like dax/kmem.c) to query the properties of
the memory device (node).

As the simplest first version, this can be just hard coded.
