The only ifdefs in the set aren't actually about this (which is entirely
contained in arch code) they are to avoid ia64 issues as has an entirely
different implementation that I doubt anyone wants to touch!

I absolutely agree with a long term aim to unify the numa setup code
across architectures.

The x86 code is rather more involved than what we have for arm64. On arm64,
memoryless nodes are handled in the same pass as those with memory (and
we get GI nodes for free).

There are some separate patches under discussion that take a few steps
in that direction.

than intent!)
