Node is the NUMA node, We get the numa id by calling dev_to_node().

Some dimm may not be recognized when boot, we want to find it.

The '/sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo' would show the memory on
node0.

If we have '/sys/devices/system/node/node0/mc0', by comparing the number
of dimm and MemTotal in meminfo. It is easy to know that the dimm didn't 
recognized whether it belonged to this NUMA node or not.
