[PATCH 1/2] 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 lowest domain level (number of
allocable resources) from the "rtas" device tree property
"ibm,current-associativity-domains" or the device tree property
"ibm,max-associativity-domains" to use as the maximum number of nodes
to setup as possibly available in the system.  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.
