Good name. sure.

May be not. The current plan is to rename (after discussing with Nish)

chipid to pnid (physical nid)
and nid to vnid (virtual nid)

within powerpc numa.c
[reasoning chipid is applicable only to OPAL, since we want to handle
powerkvm, powervm and baremetal we need a generic name ]

But 'nid' naming will be retained which is applicable for generic
kernel interactions.

arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c uses it.
