[PATCH] x86_64: Make node boundaries consistent
The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option that is used. setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might lose a page at the end of the range. This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is the same way as the single node code. The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations, but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?
