In my original patch, I added the following comment to the function to
address David's comment (which he acked).  So, can you add this comment?

-/* Callback for SLIT parsing */
+/*
+ * Callback for SLIT parsing.  pxm_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE for
+ * I/O localities since SRAT does not list them.  I/O localities are
+ * not supported at this point.
+ */

Otherwise, the change looks good to me.
