Subject[RFC patch] delete improper hot pluggable code of memory affinity
From
Hello,

The current kernel code *wrongly* interprets Hot Pluggable bit of
Memory Affinity Structure (SRAT table in ACPI spec).
if Hot Pluggable bit is set and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE is NOT
set, the memory Affinity will
be ignored. And a faked Node will be used...

An alternative is to enable CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE *always*
along with acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init.
Please decide which one is appropriate.

The downside of this patch is *some useful info* is lost and a follow
up patch is needed.

**The patch is enclosed in text attachment*
**Using web client to send the patch* *
**below is for review, please apply attached patch*/

Thanks,
Luming
