I still think that it's a good idea to provide some better default
weight value with HMAT or CDAT if available.  So, better not to make "1"
as part of ABI?

Can weight be "0"?  Do we need a way to specify that a node don't want
to participate weighted interleave?

It's kind of obscure whether "char" is "signed" or "unsigned".  Given
the max weight is 255 above, it's better to use "u8"?

And, we may need a way to specify whether the weight has been overridden
by the user.  A special value (such as 255) can be used for that.  If
so, the maximum weight should be 254 instead of 255.  As a user space
interface, is it better to use 100 as the maximum value?

kstrtou8(), "unsigned char weight", "char iw_table[]" isn't completely
consistent.  It's better to make them consistent?

IIUC, if this is called in error path (such as, in
add_weighted_interleave_group()), some node_attrs[] element may be
"NULL"?
