NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced in qemu. The idea is that
we have a DIMM module that keeps the data persistent across
domain reboots.
At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, we have <memory/> element that
lives under <devices/>. Now, the element even has @model
attribute which we can use to introduce new memory type:
<memory model='nvdimm'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
</memory>
So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.
