[patch 1/2] x86: add numa=possible command line option

From: David Rientjes
Date: Sat Nov 20 2010 - 21:28:48 EST


Adds a numa=possible=<N> command line option to set an additional N nodes
as being possible for memory hotplug. This set of possible nodes
controls nr_node_ids and the sizes of several dynamically allocated node
arrays.

This allows memory hotplug to create new nodes for newly added memory
rather than binding it to existing nodes.

The first use-case for this will be node hotplug emulation which will use
these possible nodes to create new nodes to test the memory hotplug
callbacks and surrounding memory hotplug code.
