    intel/fsp_baytrail: Clear the GNVS area prior to filling
    
    Zero out the GNVS area so that uninitialized portions are defined.
    
    Tests using Microsoft Windows (XP/7/8) gave a bluescreen bugcheck: A5
    (ACPI_BIOS_ERROR) with the first parameter (0x00001000)
    (ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY). Some ACPI enumerated devices use the
    GNVS area to define whether they're enabled and their MMIO regions.
    On my custom baytrail-based board and build, these devices were
    disabled but GNVS had uninitialized data indicating the devices
    were enabled with improper MMIO regions.
    
    Should investigate further to see where the GNVS device values are
    set if enabled and make sure they're set to valid values even when
    the devices are disabled via the mainboard/devicetree.cb.
