David, you are misleading people to fix the BUG with a logically problematic patch. I don't want
such fixing to possibly bother other people someday, please let's avoid it in review stage.

Don't speak for any other people. Let maintainers themselves decide if my patch is ugly or
acceptable. I don't want to argue with you anymore if you cannot find any true problem from my
recent patch.

Below is my updated patch (in fact, it's v2 for the patch I sent out for review in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/15/9).

***

This is to fix the outstanding BUG I ever reported in email thread:

Existing code doesn't record hotpluggable nodes parsed from SRAT because such nodes have neither CPU
online (in cpu_nodes_parsed) nor MEM online (in nodes_parsed) at booting time. As a result,
node_possible_map won't include hotpluggable nodes and then nr_node_ids won't be equal to maximum of
the possible nodes on the system.

To fix it, naturally we add nodemask_t hp_nodes_parsed to record nodes with hotpluggable memory
region, corresponding region data is kept in existing struct bootnode nodes_add[]; finally we union
hp_nodes_parsed together with cpu_nodes_parsed and nodes_parsed to get correct node_possible_map,
which then includes all possible nodes:
- nodes with memory on
- nodes with cpu on
- nodes with hotpluggable memory region
