[PATCH] powerpc/drmem: Don't compute the NUMA node for each LMB

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Wed Aug 05 2020 - 05:29:58 EST


All the LMB from the same set of ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 property are
sharing the same NUMA node. Don't compute that node for each one.

Tested on a system with 1022 LMBs spread on 4 NUMA nodes, only 4 calls to
lmb_set_nid() have been made instead of 1022.

This should prevent some soft lockups when starting large guests
