[PATCH] xen: disable ACPI NUMA for PV guests

[Ian Campbell]

Xen does not currently expose PV-NUMA information to PV
guests. Therefore disable NUMA for the time being to prevent the
kernel picking up on an host-level NUMA information which it might
come across in the firmware.

  This made it thru 2.6.32-29 in Debian on 10 dec and works like a
charm, Dell R410 properly booting with hypervisor Xen 4.0.1.

  Thanks a lot for your help and responsiveness.
