It isn't about booting but rather the NVDIMM specification describes a
special partition table used to break the ram up into different devices
with different properties for interleave and sector atomicity or not.
Use of this partition table is not optional.  I'm not sure it makes any
sense to then take one of those partitions, and try to sub-partition it
with another disk label, or whether parted could be extended to
manipulate the NVDIMM partition table.
