Thanks Phineas for the patch.

I do agree, in principle, about hardening against possible new
configurations.

I think your patch could go a bit further.

I don't see any users of gpu_node_map.node_count. So rather than add a
user, we could remove it.

In fact, we don't even need the entire struct. We just need the
'gpu_base_node_id'.

You could add the "unintialized" check here. ^^^

	if (!gpu_base_node_id || nid < gpu_base_node_id)
	    	return node_id;

What do you think?

Thanks,
