It would be better to include a brief synopsis of the problem in the
changelog instead of a citation, otherwise it obfuscates the issue it
solves.

There're a couple of issues with this patch:

- it breaks CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE kernels when the SRAT reports
more than one entry for a single node id and the later entry does not
specify an address range, and

- carrying the bit for the node over in nodes_parsed is inappropriate
since other x86 code depends on that map including only nodes with
memory such as e820_register_active_regions() and nodes_cover_memory().

[ The existing naming is admittedly convoluted since nodes_parsed
represents nodes with memory and cpu_nodes_parsed represents nodes
with only cpus; in actuality, they should probably be
mem_nodes_parsed and no_mem_nodes_parsed, respectively, since the
latter will now include hotpluggable nodes. ]

To fix both of these issues simultaneously, I think it would be better to
set the bit in no_mem_nodes_parsed so that it gets unioned in
acpi_scan_nodes() when nodes_possible_map is actually formed.
