From: David Rientjes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining
system memory into equal-sized nodes.
For example:
numa=fake=2*512,4* gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system
memory is split into four approximately equal
chunks.
This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not
necessarily relevant, but the granularity with which nodes shall be allocated
is known.
