Do you have a NUMA-Q to test this on?  Also, what is the baseline here

Can we not just add && X86_GENERICARCH here instead of putting them in
that if ?


If I am reading this right we are making all genericarch kernels NUMA,
which before they were not.  Hmmm is that going to cause problems
elsewhere?  Mind you can you get non-numa boxes any more?

If its only NUMAQ which makes that requireemnt it seems wrong to add
GENERICARCH here.  ie. its NUMAQ or SUMMIT that brings the requirement.


Could this not be always compiled in?  As long as found_numaq is never 1
we should be ok.


Is there any reason we cannot use:

		if (found_numaq)
			numaq_mps_oem_check(mpc, oem, str);

Also why is this dependant on 'early'.  There doesn't seem to be such
a check in the original path?



That looks like an unrelated cleanup?


Ok, that is a small change in pfn_valid for numaq, but essentially its a
little less efficient.  We can probabally live with that.


On the face of it the idea seems sound.  The NUMAQ changes look ok on a
quick scan.  I will need to see this applied and tested to be sure its
really sane.
