    Right now we do not have the capability to remove memory from a node while
    the system is running.

    If the DIMMs have failed and we boot up and the systems finds out that
    there is no memory on that node then the cpus can be remapped to
    the next memory node. That is better than having lots of useless
    structures allocated.
