Hmm, but dummy_numa_init calls node_set(nid, numa_nodes_parsed) for a
completely artificial setup, created by adding all memblocks to node 0,
so this new message will be suppressed even though things really did go
wrong.

In that case, don't we want to print *something* (like we do today in
dummy_numa_init) but maybe not "No NUMA configuration found"? What
exactly do you find inaccurate about the current message?
