+NUMA binding description.
+==============================================================================
+
+==============================================================================
+1 - Introduction
+==============================================================================
+
+Systems employing a Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture contain
+collections of hardware resources including processors, memory, and I/O buses,
+that comprise what is commonly known as a NUMA node.
+Processor accesses to memory within the local NUMA node is generally faster
+than processor accesses to memory outside of the local NUMA node.
+DT defines interfaces that allow the platform to convey NUMA node
+topology information to OS.
+
+==============================================================================
+2 - numa-node-id
+==============================================================================
+
+For the purpose of identification, each NUMA node is associated with a unique
+token known as a node id. For the purpose of this binding
+a node id is a 32-bit integer.
+
+A device node is associated with a NUMA node by the presence of a
+numa-node-id property which contains the node id of the device.
+
+Example:
+ /* numa node 0 */
+ numa-node-id = <0>;
+
+ /* numa node 1 */
+ numa-node-id = <1>;
+
+==============================================================================
+3 - distance-map
+==============================================================================
+
+The optional device tree node distance-map describes the relative
+distance (memory latency) between all numa nodes.
+
+- compatible : Should at least contain "numa-distance-map-v1".
+
+- distance-matrix
+ This property defines a matrix to describe the relative distances
+ between all numa nodes.
+ It is represented as a list of node pairs and their relative distance.
+
+ Note:
+ 1. Each entry represents distance from first node to second node.
+ The distances are equal in either direction.
+ 2. The distance from a node to self (local distance) is represented
+ with value 10 and all internode distance should be represented with
+ a value greater than 10.
+ 3. distance-matrix should have entries in lexicographical ascending
+ order of nodes.
+ 4. There must be only one device node distance-map which must
+ reside in the root node.
+ 5. If the distance-map node is not present, a default
+ distance-matrix is used.
+
+Example:
+ 4 nodes connected in mesh/ring topology as below,
+
+ 0_______20______1
+ | |
+ | |
+ 20 20
+ | |
+ | |
+ |_______________|
+ 3 20 2
+
+ if relative distance for each hop is 20,
+ then internode distance would be,
+ 0 -> 1 = 20
+ 1 -> 2 = 20
+ 2 -> 3 = 20
+ 3 -> 0 = 20
+ 0 -> 2 = 40
+ 1 -> 3 = 40
+
+ and dt presentation for this distance matrix is,
+
+ distance-map {
+ compatible = "numa-distance-map-v1";
+ distance-matrix = <0 0 10>,
+ <0 1 20>,
+ <0 2 40>,
+ <0 3 20>,
+ <1 0 20>,
+ <1 1 10>,
+ <1 2 20>,
+ <1 3 40>,
+ <2 0 40>,
+ <2 1 20>,
+ <2 2 10>,
+ <2 3 20>,
+ <3 0 20>,
+ <3 1 40>,
+ <3 2 20>,
+ <3 3 10>;
+ };
