Fix the NFIT parsing code to treat a 0 index in a SPA Range Structure as
a special case and not match Region Mapping Structures that use 0 to
indicate that they are not mapped. Without this fix some platform BIOS
descriptions of "virtual disk" ranges do not result in the pmem driver
attaching to the range.
Details:
In addition to typical persistent memory ranges, the ACPI NFIT may also
convey "virtual" ranges. These ranges are indicated by a UUID in the SPA
Range Structure of UUID_VOLATILE_VIRTUAL_DISK, UUID_VOLATILE_VIRTUAL_CD,
UUID_PERSISTENT_VIRTUAL_DISK, or UUID_PERSISTENT_VIRTUAL_CD. The
critical difference between virtual ranges and UUID_PERSISTENT_MEMORY, is
that virtual do not support associations with Region Mapping Structures.
For this reason the "index" value of virtual SPA Range Structures is
allowed to be 0. If a platform BIOS decides to represent unmapped
NVDIMMs with a 0 index in their "SPA Range Structure Index" the driver
falsely matches them and may falsely require labels where "virtual
disks" are expected to be label-less. I.e. label-less is where the
namespace-range == region-range and the pmem driver attaches with no
user action to create a namespace.
