The strange thing is that ia32 doesn't have CONFIG_NUMA, it has
CONFIG_MULTIQUAD. Are these equivalent, or more importantly, do they imply
the use of SLIT and SRAT?

For now I'll just apply this, and we can sort out the details later. :)

Nice.

My only comment is that instead of the ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA chunk in
tables.c, this should just go in a separate file, say, drivers/acpi/numa.c.

There are a bunch of other ACPI config options that should be split out like
this as well, so if you don't want to redo the patch, I'll just take it and
it can get fixed in a sweep with the others, later.

BTW I was thinking I should only take the arch-neutral changes, and let you
push the rest through David. Does that sound right?
