Workaround for long standing issue where Linux kernel assings hotplugged CPU to 1st numa node as it discards proximity for possible CPUs from SRAT after it's parsed.
_PXM method allows linux query proximity directly from hotplugged CPU object, which allows Linux to assing CPU to the correct numa node.
