The "etc/acpi/nvdimm-mem" fw_cfg blob is guaranteed not to contain ACPI
tables, so turning off the ACPI SDT header probe in OVMF is the right
thing to do.

SeaBIOS needs a patch for recognizing (and masking out) the
BIOS_LINKER_LOADER_ALLOC_CONTENT_NOACPI bit, but its behavior will not
change.

Regarding the allocation zone, we cannot relax that to 64-bit, because the
"MEMA" object (NVDIMM_ACPI_MEM_ADDR), into which the address of
"etc/acpi/nvdimm-mem" is patched, is only a DWORD.

Notes:
    I don't know how to test this device, so I didn't. Help from the
    device's maintainer would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
