This snippet looks incorrect because first_unset_node() can return
MAX_NUMNODES, which isn't a valid node number, nor is it valid to set a
bit >= MAX_NUMNODES in a nodemask. Although, this is init code, so
there shouldn't be other CPUs messing with the nodes_found mask at the
same time, and you do check that there are unset bits in nodes_found
before the first_unset_node() call, so I'm probably wrong. Is there any
reason you don't just do all these checks on node_online_map? ie:

if (nodes_weight(node_online_map) >= MAX_NUMNODES)
return -1;
node = first_unset_node(node_online_map);
node_set(node, nodes_found);
pxm2node[pxm] = node;

The extra nodes_found bitmask seems unnecessary? I like the idea of the
first_unset_node() function, though.
