It may need to treat PC-DIMM and NVDIMM differently, e.g., when
deciding the necessity of non-volatile flag bit in SRAT memory
affinity structures.

NVDIMMDeviceInfo, which inherits from PCDIMMDeviceInfo, is added to
union type MemoryDeviceInfo to record information of NVDIMM devices.
The NVDIMM-specific data is currently left empty and will be filled
when necessary in the future.

You added no data, so why did you need the type?

Names aren't part of the interface; would it be better to rename PCDIMMDeviceInfo into something that can be generically shared between both the 'dimm' and 'nvdimm' branches without having to create a pointless subtype?
