and it's already there:-) Each struct device has a field numa_node and pci_bus has
contains a struct device. arm64 is already using it only not so nice part is the
usage of pcibios_root_bridge_prepare() to set the numa_node for the root bus.

that's exactly what I'm looking for. Should I add the patch for my patchset or
are you going to submit it after having a use case ?
