This function requires NFIT_SPA_DCR, SPA Range Structure with NVDIMM
Control Region GUID, for initializing an nd_mem object. However,
battery-backed DIMMs do not have such control region SPA. IIUC, the
NFIT spec does not require NFIT_SPA_DCR.

Can you change this function to work with NFIT_SPA_PM as well?

Thanks,
