    So as discussed internally, nfit.h will have to wait for the ACPICA's
    NFIT support to prevent clashes from happening.

    Also please CC *all* *patches* with "ACPI" (or "acpi" etc) anywhere in the
    subject/changelog/body to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.

    More comments likely to follow.

    Thanks!
