Sorry, I failed to mention other issue, which led me call set_dev_node()
in probe.  nd_async_device_register() calls device_add(), which does:

        /* use parent numa_node */
        if (parent)
                set_dev_node(dev, dev_to_node(parent));

and overwrites numa_node to -1.  Since region's parent is ndbusN, we
cannot set numa_node to the parent.  So, I had to set it in probe. 

Thanks,
