This patchset addresses the kernel bloat that occurs when NR_CPUS is increased.
The memory numbers below are with NR_CPUS = 1024 which I've been testing (4 and
32 real processors, the rest "possible" using the additional_cpus start option.)
These changes are all specific to the x86 architecture, non-arch specific
changes will follow.
Based on 2.6.24-rc6-mm1

V1->V2:
- Remove extraneous casts
- Add comment about node memory < NODE_MIN_SIZE
- changed pxm_to_node_map to u16
- changed memnode map entries to u16
- Fix !NUMA builds with '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA"
- Add slight optimization to apic_is_clustered_box()

The following columns are using the default x86_64 config with no modules.
32cpus is the default NR_CPUS, 1kcpus-before has NR_CPUS = 1024, and
1kcpus-after is after applying this patch.
As noticeable below there's still plenty of room for improvement... ;-)
