[PATCH 1/4] hmat acpi: Don't require initiator value in -numa

[Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@inria.fr>]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7212 bytes --]

The "Memory Proximity Domain Attributes" structure of the ACPI HMAT
has a "Processor Proximity Domain Valid" flag that is currently
always set because Qemu -numa requires an initiator=X value
when hmat=on. Unsetting this flag allows to create more complex
memory topologies by having multiple best initiators for a single
memory target.

This patch allows -numa without initiator=X when hmat=on by keeping
the default value MAX_NODES in numa_state->nodes[i].initiator.
All places reading numa_state->nodes[i].initiator already check
whether it's different from MAX_NODES before using it.

Tested with

Before this patch, we had to add ",initiator=X" to "-numa node,nodeid=2,memdev=ram2".
