The SLIT table is as follows,

[000h 0000 4] Signature : "SLIT" [System Locality Information Table]
[004h 0004 4] Table Length : 0000042C
[008h 0008 1] Revision : 01

[024h 0036 8] Localities : 0000000000000004
[02Ch 0044 4] Locality 0 : 0A 15 11 1C
[030h 0048 4] Locality 1 : 15 0A 1C 11
[034h 0052 4] Locality 2 : 11 1C 0A 1C
[038h 0056 4] Locality 3 : 1C 11 1C 0A

The `numactl -H` output is as follows,

available: 4 nodes (0-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71

node 3 cpus:

node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 21 17 28
1: 21 10 28 17
2: 17 28 10 28
3: 28 17 28 10

init_numa_topology_type() set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT.

The node 0 and node 1 are onlined during boot. While the PMEM node,
that is, node 2 and node 3 are onlined later. As in the following dmesg
snippet.

[ 2.252573][ T0] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x7fffffff]

Full dmesg is attached.
