Form2 associativity adds a much more flexible NUMA topology layout
than what is provided by Form1. More details can be found in patch 7.

$ numactl -H
...
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3 
  0:  10  11  222  33 
  1:  44  10  55  66 
  2:  77  88  10  99 
  3:  101  121  132  10 
$

After DAX kmem memory add
# numactl -H
available: 5 nodes (0-4)
...
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3   4 
  0:  10  11  222  33  240 
  1:  44  10  55  66  255 
  2:  77  88  10  99  255 
  3:  101  121  132  10  230 
  4:  255  255  255  230  10 


PAPR SCM now use the numa distance details to find the numa_node and target_node
for the device.

The above output is with a Qemu command line

Changes from v7:
* Address review feedback 
* fold patch 6 to patch 3

Changes from v6:
* Address review feedback 

Changes from v5:
* Fix build error reported by kernel test robot
* Address review feedback 

Changes from v4:
* Drop DLPAR related device tree property for now because both Qemu nor PowerVM
  will provide the distance details of all possible NUMA nodes during boot.
* Rework numa distance code based on review feedback.

Changes from v3:
* Drop PAPR SCM specific changes and depend completely on NUMA distance information.

Changes from v2:
* Add nvdimm list to Cc:
* update PATCH 8 commit message.

Changes from v1:
* Update FORM2 documentation.
* rename max_domain_index to max_associativity_domain_index


Aneesh Kumar K.V (5):
  powerpc/pseries: rename min_common_depth to primary_domain_index
  powerpc/pseries: Rename TYPE1_AFFINITY to FORM1_AFFINITY
  powerpc/pseries: Consolidate different NUMA distance update code paths
  powerpc/pseries: Add a helper for form1 cpu distance
  powerpc/pseries: Add support for FORM2 associativity
