Thanks for finding this!

Excuse my ignorance but why wouldn't this work:

static numanode_t pxm_to_node_map[MAX_PXM_DOMAINS]
                                = { [0 ... MAX_PXM_DOMAINS - 1] = NUMA_NO_NODE 
};
...

           numanode_t node = pxm_to_node_map[pxm];

           if (node != NUMA_NO_NODE) {

or change:
        #define NID_INVAL       (-1)
to
        #define NID_INVAL       ((numanode_t)(-1))
...
           if (node != NID_INVAL) {
>>                 if (nodes_weight(nodes_found_map) >= MAX_NUMNODES)

Though why there two "node invalid" values I'm not sure... ?

And btw, shouldn't the pxm value be sized to numanode_t size as well?
Will it ever be larger than the largest node id?

Thanks,
