Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Resend: [PATCH 1/3]: Store SRAT revision

Hi,

In SRAT v1, we had 8bit proximity domain (PXM) fields; SRAT v2 provides
32bits for these. The new fields were reserved before.
According to the ACPI spec, the OS must disregard reserved fields.
In order to know whether to disregard or not, we must know what 
version the SRAT table has.

This patch stores the SRAT table revision for later consumption
by arch specific __init functions.

This is patch 1/3.
