Changes since v2 [1]: - Fix numa_cleanup_meminfo() to skip trimming reserved ranges to max_pfn.
- Collect Michael's acked-by

Merge notes:
x86 folks: This has an ack from Rafael for ACPI, and Michael for Power. With an x86 ack I plan to take this through the libnvdimm tree provided the x86 touches look ok to you.

Cover:
Arrange for platform numa info to be preserved for determining 'target_node' data. Where a 'target_node' is the node a reserved memory range will become when it is onlined.
This new infrastructure is expected to be more valuable over time for Memory Tiers / Hierarchy management as more platforms (via the ACPI HMAT and EFI Specific Purpose Memory) publish reserved or "soft-reserved" ranges to Linux. Linux system administrators will expect to be able to interact with those ranges with a unique numa node number when/if that memory is onlined via the dax_kmem driver [2].
One configuration that currently fails to properly convey the target node for the resulting memory hotplug operation is persistent memory defined by the memmap=nn!ss parameter. For example, today if node1 is a memory only node, and all the memory from node1 is specified to memmap=nn!ss and subsequently onlined, it will end up being onlined as node0 memory. As it stands, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() can only identify online nodes and since node1 in this example has no online cpus / memory the target node is initialized node0.
The fix is to preserve rather than discard the numa_meminfo entries that are relevant for reserved memory ranges, and to uplevel the node distance helper for determining the "local" (closest) node relative to an initiator node.
