[RFC PATCH] ACPI: Only create numa nodes from entries in SRAT or SRAT emulation.

Here, I will use the term Proximity Domains for the ACPI description and
Numa Nodes for the in kernel representation.

Until ACPI 6.3 it was arguably possible to interpret the specification as
allowing _PXM in DSDT and similar to define additional Proximity Domains.

The reality was that was never the intent, and a 'clarification' was added
in ACPI 6.3 [1].  In practice I think the kernel has never allowed any other
interpretaion, except possibly on adhoc base within some out of tree driver
(using it very very carefully given potential to crash when using various
standard calls such as devm_kzalloc).

Proximity Domains are always defined in SRAT.  In ACPI, there are methods
defined in ACPI to allow their characteristics to be tweaked later but
Proximity Domains have to be referenced in this table at boot, thus
allowing Linux to instantiate relevant Numa Node data structures.

We ran into a problem when enabling _PXM handling for PCI devices and found
there were boards out there advertising devices in proximity domains that
didn't exist [2].

The fix suggested here is to modfiy the function acpi_map_pxm_to_node.
This function is both used to create and lookup proximity domains.
A parameter is added to specify whether it should create a new
proximity domain when it encounters a Proximity Domain ID that it
hasn't seen before.

Naturally there is a quirk.  For SRAT ITS entries on ARM64 the handling is
done with an additional pass of SRAT, potentially later in the boot. We
could modify that behaviour so we could identify the existence of Proximity
Domains unique to the ITS structures, and handle them as a special case
of a Genric Initiator (once support for those merges) however...

Currently (5.8-rc2) setting the Proximity Domain of an ITS to one that hasn't
been instantiated by being specified in another type of SRAT resource entry
results in:

ITS [mem 0x202100000-0x20211ffff]

As we die in this case in existing kernels, we can be fairly sure that no one
actually has such a firmware in production.  As such this patch avoids the
complexity that would be needed to handle this corner case, and simply does
not allow the ITS entry parsing code to instantiate new Numa Nodes.  If one
is encountered that does not already exist, then NO_NUMA_NODE is assigned
and a warning printed just as if the value had been greater than allowed
Numa Nodes.

"SRAT: Invalid NUMA node -1 in ITS affinity"

I have only tested this for now on our ARM64 Kunpeng920 servers.

Open questions:
* should we warn about a broken firmware or insufficent value of
  NUMA_NODES_SHIFT if we find a firmware trying to assign any device
  to a non existent Proximity Domain.
* previously an smmuv3 in IORT with a Proximity Domain set to a non existent
  value would have resulted in a failure to add the device. After this change
  it will be added to the default node.  Is that a problem?
