Subject: [PATCH for review] [23/48] x86_64: disable srat when numa emulation succeeds


From: David Rientjes <rientjes@...gle.com>

When NUMA emulation succeeds, acpi_numa needs to be set to -1 so that
srat_disabled() will always return true.  We won't be calling
acpi_scan_nodes() or registering the true nodes we've found.
