This patch provides generic discontiguous memory support for the i386
numa architecture. The patch also provides supports for the ia32 IBM
NUMA-Q hardware platform. John Stultz also has added support for the
x440 hardware. This will be posted separately at a later date. A version
of this patch is in the 2.4 aa tree and has also been accepted into the v2.5
tree starting with 2.5.34.

This patch depends on the paddr->pfn patch that I just sent out.

Assumptions made:

- that the first node has at least 900Mb of memory

Testing done:

        - single proc desktop pc (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ is not set)
        - 4 proc SMP system (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ is not set)
        - 4 proc SMP system (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ is not set, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=64GB)
        - 16 proc NUMA box with 4GB memory (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ=y,
                CONFIG_NUMA is not set)
        - 16 proc NUMA box with 4GB memory (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ=y,
                CONFIG_NUMA is not set, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=64GB)
        - 16 proc NUMA box with 4GB memory (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ=y,
                CONFIG_NUMA=y)
        - 16 proc NUMA box with 4GB memory (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ=y,
                CONFIG_NUMA=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=64GB)
        - 8 proc NUMA box with 8GB memeory (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ=y,
                CONFIG_NUMA=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=64GB)
        - 16 proc NUMA box with 16GB memory (CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ=y,
                CONFIG_NUMA=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=64GB)

Any and all feedback regarding this patch is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pat
