[patch -mm 1/7] x86_64: configurable fake numa node sizes

[David Rientjes]

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes.  These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for
coarse memory resource management.

The old command-line option is still supported:
  numa=fake=32	gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
		actual machine.

But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
  numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
		gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
		the rest of system memory to a sixth node.

The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.

Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range.  The
total available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the
number of equal nodes to allocate.  These nodes are then dynamically
allocated and their borders extended until such time as their number of
available pages reaches the required size.

Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with
cpusets for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated
with scanning the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().
