While the change logically makes sense, the likelihood of nd_family > int_size is not ever likely. Given that NVDIMM_BUS_FAMILY_MAX is defined as 1, I don't think we care about values greater than that regardless of what is set in the upper 32bit of the u64. I'm leaning towards the fix is unnecessary.
