[PATCH -v3] x86, numa: Fix cross nodes memory configuration

[Yinghai Lu]

Russ reported SGI UV is broken recently. He said:

| The SRAT table shows that memory range is spread over two nodes.
|
| SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 100000000-800000000
| SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 800000000-1000000000
| SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 1000000000-1080000000
|
|Previously, the kernel early_node_map[] would show three entries
|with the proper node.
|
|[    0.000000]     0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00800000
|[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000
|[    0.000000]     0: 0x01000000 -> 0x01080000
|
|The problem is recent community kernel early_node_map[] shows
|only two entries with the node 0 entry overlapping the node 1
|entry.
|
|    0: 0x00100000 -> 0x01080000
|    1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000

After looking at the changelog, Found out that it has been broken for a while by
following commit

|commit 8716273caef7f55f39fe4fc6c69c5f9f197f41f1

|    x86: Export srat physical topology

Before that commit, register_active_regions() is called for every SRAT memory
entry right away.

Try to use nodememblk_range[] instead of nodes[].

For stable tree: from 2.6.33 to 2.3.36 need this patch

-v3: update to linus's tree.
