Subject: [PATCHSET x86/numa] x86-64, NUMA: bring sanity to NUMA configuration

Hello,

Currently, x86-64 NUMA configuration is unnecessarily complicated with
srat_64, amdtopology_64, dummy and emulation all doing about the same
things in slightly different ways.  This makes the code difficult to
comprehend, maintain and extend.

The worst offender is the NUMA emulation which maps and reverse maps
things in quite chaotic ways.  For example, CPU node remapping is done
by finding out the node the CPU is mapped to, taking the start address
and looking up the containing physical node, and then again looking
for emulated nodes which fall in the physical node.  Another
interesting example is node distance remapping whem the system is
using amdtopology - it generates pseudo ACPI PXM mapping.

This is the first of two patchset series.  This one cleans up x86-64
NUMA configuration so that specific implementations - srat,
amdtopology and dummy - only have to supply the information about the
actul configuration.  All the mangling and massaging are done inside
numa_64.c proper using the provided information.

This patchset implements all the infrastructure to make NUMA emulation
sane but doesn't actually update NUMA emulation.  It will be done by
the next patchset.  As it still retains old code and glues to keep
them working, LOC is increased by 60 lines.  After the second
patchset, the net LOC change will be -123 lines.

Once the x86-64 update is settled, x86-32 will be moved over to share
the new infrastructure.

This patchset is on top of the current tip/x86/numa[1] and contains
the following 26 patches.

Tested on an opteron NUMA machine which can do both ACPI and AMD
configs.  All NUMA configs, emulation, !NUMA and UP work as expected.
