ACPI / platform: Update platform device NUMA node based on _PXM method
The optional _PXM method evaluates to an integer that identifies the proximity domain of a device object. On ACPI based kernel boot, the field numa_node in 'struct device' is always set to -1 irrespective of _PXM value that is specified in the ACPI device object. But in case of device-tree based kernel boot the numa_node field is populated and reflects to a DT property that is specified in DTS according to the below document. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/numa.txt http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/of/device.c#L54 Without this patch dev_to_node() always returns -1 for all platform devices. This patch adds support for the ACPI _PXM method and updates the platform device NUMA node id using acpi_get_node() which provides the PXM-to-NUMA mapping information. The individual platform device drivers should be able to use the NUMA-aware memory allocation functions kmalloc_node() and alloc_pages_node() to improve performance.
