If the arch needs to change it, that's fine, I guess.  What I'm saying
is that we should move this table building and maintenance to numa
code proper.  It was already a bit icky to build it inside workqueue.
Trying to manage it dynamically manage it from there is too ugly.
Let's please make this mapping table a proper part of NUMA
infrastructure with proper notification callbacks.

Thanks.
