To summarize some offline conversation, we've figured out that
the "missing" NUMA nodes are not due to setting maxcpus=1 or
nr_cpus=1. Setting the cpu count doesn't affect any of this.
Instead, Linux is modifying the memory map prior to starting the
kdump kernel so that most of the memory is not touched and is
preserved to be dumped, which is the whole point of kdump. This
modified memory map has no memory in NUMA nodes 1 and 2, so
it is correct to just see nodes 0 and 3 as online.
I think code fix here is pretty simple:
int node;
node = hv_dev->desc.virtual_numa_node;
if ((hv_dev->desc.flags & HV_PCI_DEVICE_FLAG_NUMA_AFFINITY)
&& (node < nr_node_ids))
set_dev_node(&dev->dev, numa_map_to_online_node(node));
