Hi Dan,
Thanks for the update. This version of the patchset enumerates our NFIT
table properly. :-)

nd_pmem_probe() is called asynchronously via async_schedule_domain
(). We have seen a case that the region#->pmem# binding becomes
inconsistent across a reboot when there are 8 NVDIMM cards (reported by
Robert Elliott). This leads user to access a wrong device.
I think pmem id needs to be assigned before async_schedule_domain(), and
cascaded to nd_pmem_probe().
