+numa id binding description
+======================================================
+
+======================================================
+1 - Introduction
+======================================================
+The device node property "nid(numa node id)" can be added to memory
+device node to map the range of memory addresses as defined in property "reg".
+The property "nid" maps the memory range to the numa node id, which is used to
+find the local and remory pages on numa aware systems.
+
+======================================================
+2 - nid property
+======================================================
+Numa node id, "nid" is required property of memory device node for
+numa enabled platforms.
+
+|------------------------------------------------------|
+|Property Type | Usage | Value Type | Definition |
+|------------------------------------------------------|
+| nid | R | <u32> | Numa Node id |
+| | | | for this memory |
+|------------------------------------------------------|
+
+========================================================
+4 - Example memory nodes with numa node id mapping
+========================================================
+
+Example 1 (2 memory nodes, each mapped to a numa node.):
+
+ memory@00000000 {
+ device_type = "memory";
+ reg = <0x0 0x00000000 0x0 0x80000000>;
+ nid = <0x0>;
+ };
+
+ memory@10000000000 {
+ device_type = "memory";
+ reg = <0x100 0x00000000 0x0 0x80000000>;
+ nid = <0x1>;
+ };
+
+Example 2 (multiple memory ranges in each memory node and mapped to numa node):
+
+ memory@00000000 {
+ device_type = "memory";
+ reg = <0x0 0x00000000 0x0 0x80000000>,
+ <0x0 0x80000000 0x0 0x80000000>;
+ nid = <0x0>;
+ };
+
+ memory@10000000000 {
+ device_type = "memory";
+ reg = <0x100 0x00000000 0x0 0x80000000>,
+ <0x100 0x80000000 0x0 0x80000000>;
+ nid = <0x1>;
+ };
