This sentence seems to have a syntax problem... like it is missing an
'and' before 'on pSeries'.

IIUC this relies on the fact that the NUMA node id is == to chip id
on PowerNV, i.e. xc->chip_id which is passed to OPAL remain stable
with this change.

On the other hand, you have the pSeries case under PowerVM that
doesn't xc->chip_id, which isn't passed to any hcall AFAICT. It
looks like the chip id is only used for localization purpose in
this case, right ?

In this case, what about doing this change for pSeries only,
somewhere in spapr.c ?
