Hi Nilay,

In the current design, a numa-node is made online only if
that node is attached to cpu/memory. With this design, if
any PCI/IO device is found to be attached to a numa-node
which is not online then the numa-node id of the corresponding
PCI/IO device is set to NUMA_NO_NODE(-1). This design may
negatively impact the performance of PCIe device if the
numa-node assigned to PCIe device is -1 because in such case
we may not be able to accurately calculate the distance
between two nodes.
The multi-controller NVMe PCIe disk has an issue with
calculating the node distance if the PCIe NVMe controller
is attached to a PCI host bridge which has numa-node id
value set to NUMA_NO_NODE. This patch helps fix this ensuring
that a cpu/memory less numa node is made online if it's
attached to PCI host bridge.

Looks good to me.
