Subject: [PATCH V10 2/2] powerpc/nodes: Ensure enough nodes avail for operations

powerpc/nodes: On systems like PowerPC which allow 'hot-add' of CPU
or memory resources, it may occur that the new resources are to be
inserted into nodes that were not used for these resources at bootup.
In the kernel, any node that is used must be defined and initialized
at boot.

This patch extracts the value of the 'min_common_depth' element from
the "rtas" device tree property "ibm,max-associativity-domains" to use
as the maximum number of nodes to setup as possibly available in the
system.  [The 'min_common_depth' element is calculated from memory
associations found while loading all of the configured memory into
the system data structures at boot.]  This new setting will override
the instruction,

    nodes_and(node_possible_map, node_possible_map, node_online_map);

presently seen in the function arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:initmem_init().

If the property is not present at boot, no operation will be performed
to define or enable additional nodes.

Changes in V10:
  -- Try to use 'min_common_depth' from NUMA initialization to select
     domain level to use for maximum nodes.
