How _should_ a node without memory be treated??

For example, consider a Nehelem board with:
- 2 sockets
- all memory is located on socket 1 (socket 0 has no memory)

Our BIOS currently builds the SRAT with:
- cpus in socket 0 in promimity domain 0
- cpus in socket 1 in promimity domain 1
- all memory is in promimity domain 1

Should this be a valid configuration? This is not a corner case that is
unlikely to occur. We actually have these types of configurations.

I reverted dc09855191809. AFAICT, the results are identical.
