Though there a couple of cosmetic issues and one bad memory access
issue (though only in the case of buggy firmware).

Since you're using dts syntax below, it probably makes sense to use it
here as well.

You validate numa_dist_table_length below.  However, AFAICT you don't
anywhere check that the property actually has the length its first
element claims it does.  Yes, that represents a firmware bug, but it's
probably best if we don't ready past the end of the array in that
case, which I think is what will happen now.

Same applies for the lookup-index-table.
