With the addition of NVDIMM support, a question came up as to whether
NVDIMM ranges should be in the SRAT with this bit set.  I think the
consensus was no because the ranges are in the NFIT with proximity
domain information there.

ACPI is not clear on the meaning of this bit in the SRAT.
If someone is setting it, we might want to ask them what they expect
to happen with it.

Right now this bit is only printed if all the ACPI debug information is
turned on.

Sorry, I should have explained more.
