s/numa_emucation/numa_emulation/, but I think everything above should just 
be reworded to say the following since it establishes the dependency:

numa_init() has already called init_func(), which is responsible for 
setting numa_nodes_parsed, so use this nodemask instead of re-finding it 
when calling numa_emulation().
