Subject: [PATCH 1/7] node: Link memory nodes to their compute nodes

Memory-only nodes will often have affinity to a compute node, and
platforms have ways to express that locality relationship.

A node containing CPUs or other DMA devices that can initiate memory
access are referred to as "memory iniators". A "memory target" is a
node that provides at least one phyiscal address range accessible to a
memory initiator.

In preparation for these systems, provide a new kernel API to link
the target memory node to its initiator compute node with symlinks to
each other.

The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy setup for memory node
'Y' local to commpute node 'X':

  # ls -l /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/initiator*
  /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/targetY -> ../nodeY

  # ls -l /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/target*
  /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/initiatorX -> ../nodeX
