Ganapat,

Can we get a simple version of this patchset with just the associativity parameter for the cpu and memory nodes
upstream? The initial patchset can be with the assumption of a simple full mesh topology for the distance.  The
hierarchical complex topologies and the DT nodes and properties for that can be added in a later patch, once the
standard for that is agreed upon.
We are planning to support ACPI based NUMA for                                                                        Broadcom Vulcan processors(http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s797235).
I am working on a patch to add support for the SRAT and SLIT ACPI tables based on your patch and I will post that
patchset soon, so it will be helpful if the core changes are upstream.

Thanks,
Ashok
