Since this may allocate multiple targets with the same PXM,
hmat_register_targets() will attempt to register the same node multiple
times.

Would it make sense if the existing struct memory_target adds a resource
list that we can append to as we parse SRAT? That way we have one target
per memory node, and also track the ranges.
