2) Map the sparse chipid got from device tree to a serial nid at kernel
level (The idea proposed in this series).
Pro: It is more natural to handle at kernel level than at lower (OPAL) layer.
con: The chipid is in device tree no longer the same as nid in kernel
Is there any debugging/logging? Looks like not -- so how does a sysadmin
map from firmware-provided values to the Linux values? That's going to
make debugging of large systems (PowerVM or otherwise) less than
pleasant, it seems? Possibly you could put something in sysfs?
I see 2 things could be done here:
1) while doing dump_numa_cpu_topology() we can dump nid_to_chipid()
as additional information.
2) sysfs->
Does /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/*chipid* looks good. May be we
should add only for powerpc or otherwise we need to have chipid = nid
populated for other archs. [ I think this change may be done slowly ]
