[RFC PATCH 0/8] Add support for FORM2 associativity

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

Form2 associativity adds a much more flexible NUMA topology layout
than what is provided by Form1. This also allows PAPR SCM device
to use better associativity when using the device as DAX KMEM
device. More details can be found in patch x
