Hi Denys and Daniel,
	I still have some concerns about limiting the array to NR_CPUS.
__apicid_to_node are populated according to the order that CPUs are
listed in ACPI SRAT table. And CPU IDs are allocated according to the
order that CPUs are listed in ACPI MADT(APIC) order. So it may cause
trouble if:
1) system has more than NR_CPUS CPUs
2) CPUs are listed in different order in SRAT and MADT tables.

	Why remove above code? numa_init() may be called multiple times
so it needs to reset __apicid_to_node array on the second and following
calls. So we need another way to reset __apicid_to_node array instead
of simply deleting above code.
Thanks,
Gerry
