Shanker Donthineni 79f97c3051 ACPI / platform: Update platform device NUMA node based on _PXM method
The optional _PXM method evaluates to an integer that identifies the
proximity domain of a device object. On ACPI based kernel boot, the
field numa_node in 'struct device' is always set to -1 irrespective
of _PXM value that is specified in the ACPI device object. But in
case of device-tree based kernel boot the numa_node field is populated
and reflects to a DT property that is specified in DTS according to
the below document.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/numa.txt
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/of/device.c#L54

Without this patch dev_to_node() always returns -1 for all platform
devices. This patch adds support for the ACPI _PXM method and updates
the platform device NUMA node id using acpi_get_node() which provides
the PXM-to-NUMA mapping information.

The individual platform device drivers should be able to use the
NUMA-aware memory allocation functions kmalloc_node() and
alloc_pages_node() to improve performance.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
