Dan Williams cc9aec03e5 x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability
The current NUMA emulation capabilities for splitting System RAM by a
fixed size or by a set number of nodes may result in some nodes being
larger than others. The implementation prioritizes establishing a
minimum usable memory size over satisfying the requested number of NUMA
nodes.

Introduce a uniform split capability that evenly partitions each
physical NUMA node into N emulated nodes. For example numa=fake=3U
creates 6 emulated nodes total on a system that has 2 physical nodes.

This capability is useful for debugging and evaluating platform
memory-side-cache capabilities as described by the ACPI HMAT (see
5.2.27.5 Memory Side Cache Information Structure in ACPI 6.2a)

Compare numa=fake=6 that results in only 5 nodes being created against
numa=fake=3U which takes the 2 physical nodes and evenly divides them.
