Andrew has merged this set into the -mm tree.  I think that's fine and
will proceed to address all of the comments there as incremental
patches.

I have comments/requests from yourself:

2/8:  seconding Christoph's suggestion re: generic function to add
generic function to set per cpu node id; plus suggestion to use
numa_node_id() in common.c::cpu_init().

4/8:  lose the "#define numa_mem numa_node".  I'll need to rework this.
Currently, one can access the per cpu variable 'numa_node' directly as
such.  I added 'numa_mem' [actually got it from Christoph's starter
patch] as an analog to numa_node.  I/Christoph wanted to eliminate the
redundant variable when it wasn't needed, but not break code that
directly accesses it.  Maybe better to not provide it at all?  

5/8:  wording error in patch description.

Randy D and Kamezawa-san:  comments on documentation patch

Kame-san:  request for clarification in 3/8

Thanks,
