that depends, like relocating initrd to different position.

Do you mean you can not boot one socket system with 1G ram ?

Assume socket 0 does not support hotplug, other 31 sockets support hot plug.

So we could boot system only with socket0, and later one by one hot
add other cpus.

We should simulate that way, just like boot system with PXM0 at first
and later during acpi scan, add other cpus/ram.
