Out of interest how to do you guys represent NUMA regions of memory in the device tree? - k
Looking at the source code in numa.c I see at the start of do_init_bootmem() that parse_numa_properties() is called. It appears to be looking at memory nodes and getting the node id from it. It gets an associativity property for the memory node and indexes that array with a 'min_common_depth' value to get the node id. This node id is then used to setup the active ranges in the early_node_map[]. Is this what you are asking about? There are others I am sure who know more about it then I though. Jon
