[PATCH] docs: kernel-parameters: mark numa=off is supported by a bundle of architectures

From: Barry Song <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-24 05:24:53
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-doc, linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

risc-v and arm64 support numa=off by common arch_numa_init()
in drivers/base/arch_numa.c. x86, ppc, mips, sparc support it
by arch-level early_param.
numa=off is widely used in linux distributions. it is better
to document it.
