    Subject[RFC PATCH v3 31/31] mm: add a early_param "extra_nr_node_ids" to increase nr_node_ids above the minimum by a percentage.
    Date
    For dynamic numa, sometimes the hypervisor we're running under will want
    to split a single NUMA node into multiple NUMA nodes. If the number of
    numa nodes is limited to the number avaliable when the system booted (as
    it is on x86), we may not be able to fully adopt the new memory layout
    provided by the hypervisor.

    This option allows reserving some extra node ids as a percentage of the
    boot time node ids. While not perfect (idealy nr_node_ids would be fully
    dynamic), this allows decent functionality without invasive changes to
    the SL{U,A}B allocators.
