[PATCH RFC 5/5] powerpc:numa Use chipid to nid mapping to get serial numa node ids

[Raghavendra K T]

Also properly initialize numa distance table for serial nids.

Problem: Powerpc supports sparse nid numbering which could affect
1) memory footprint 2) virtualization use cases

Current solution:
The patch maps sprase chipid got fromn device tree to serail
nids.

Result before:
node   0   1  16  17
  0:  10  20  40  40
  1:  20  10  40  40
 16:  40  40  10  20
 17:  40  40  20  10

After:
node   0   1   2   3
  0:  10  20  40  40
  1:  20  10  40  40
  2:  40  40  10  20
  3:  40  40  20  10

Testing: Scenarios tested on  baremetal and KVM guest with 4 nodes
1) offlining and onlining memory and cpus
2) Running the tests from numactl source.
3) Creating 1000s of docker containers stressing the system
