If its just to eliminate node 0, then we have 2 other probably better
solutions.
1. Dont mark node 0 as spl (currently still in mm-tree and a result in
linux-next)
2. powerpc specific: explicitly clear node 0 during numa bringup.

How do we ensure 2 simultaneous firmware_group_id_to_nid() calls dont end up
at this place in parallel?

Lets assume two or more invocations of associativity_to_nid for the same
associativity, end up with -1, In each case aren't giving different
nids?

Same case as above, How do we ensure that we return unique nid for a
similar assoc_array?
