not related to problem discussed in this patch but you probably
need to update docs/specs/acpi_nvdimm.txt to account for your changes

FIT table is built dynamically and you are the first to debug
such issue.
(apart from the author the NVDIMM code.
btw: why NVDIMM author is not on CC list???)

Local1 = SizeOf (Local0)
printf("NVDIMM-RFIT Rcvd buf size %o", Local1)
Local1 -= 0x04
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ here you get -4 so sizes you see are consistent
If ((Local1 == Zero))
{
Return (Buffer (Zero){})
}
CreateField (Local0, 0x20, (Local1 << 0x03), BUFF)
printf("NVDIMM-RFIT Created NVDR.RFIT.BUFF size %o", Local1)
> [Qemu]NVDIMM:nvdimm_dsm_func_read_fit: Read FIT: offset 0xc0 FIT size 0xb8 Dirty No. -->Another read is attempted

status 3 means that QEMU didn't like content of NRAM, and there is only
1 place like this in nvdimm_dsm_func_read_fit()
if (read_fit->offset > fit->len) {
func_ret_status = NVDIMM_DSM_RET_STATUS_INVALID;
goto exit;
}
so I'd start looking from here and check that QEMU gets expected data
in nvdimm_dsm_write(). In other words I'd try to trace/compare
content of DSM buffer (from qemu side).

RFIT returns 0-sized buffer in case of error
> [AML]"NVDIMM-FIT: _FIT returned size 00000000000000C0" --> Wrong size returned.
after that it goes
Local0 = Buffer (Zero){}
Local0 = RFIT (Local3)
Local1 = SizeOf (Local0)
printf("NVDIMM-FIT: Rcvd buf size %o", Local1)
If ((RSTA == 0x0100))
{
Local2 = Buffer (Zero){}
Local3 = Zero
}
Else
{
If ((Local1 == Zero))
--> here, probably on the second iteration of the loop taking Zero
size as EOF sign but without checking for any error (RSTA !=0)
and returning partial buffer only
{
printf("NVDIMM-FIT: _FIT returned size %o", SizeOf(Local2))
Return (Local2)
}
relevant code in QEMU that builds this AML is in nvdimm_build_fit()
