Patch series "mm: introduce numa_memblks", v4. Following the discussion about handling of CXL fixed memory windows on arm64 [1] I decided to bite the bullet and move numa_memblks from x86 to the generic code so they will be available on arm64/riscv and maybe on loongarch sometime later. While it could be possible to use memblock to describe CXL memory windows, it currently lacks notion of unpopulated memory ranges and numa_memblks does implement this. Another reason to make numa_memblks generic is that both arch_numa (arm64 and riscv) and loongarch use trimmed copy of x86 code although there is no fundamental reason why the same code cannot be used on all these platforms. Having numa_memblks in mm/ will make it's interaction with ACPI and FDT more consistent and I believe will reduce maintenance burden. And with generic numa_memblks it is (almost) straightforward to enable NUMA emulation on arm64 and riscv. The first 9 commits in this series are cleanups that are not strictly related to numa_memblks. Commits 10-16 slightly reorder code in x86 to allow extracting numa_memblks and NUMA emulation to the generic code. Commits 17-19 actually move the code from arch/x86/ to mm/ and commits 20-22 does some aftermath cleanups. Commit 23 updates of_numa_init() to return error of no NUMA nodes were found in the device tree. Commit 24 switches arch_numa to numa_memblks. Commit 25 enables usage of phys_to_target_node() and memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() with numa_memblks. Commit 26 moves the description for numa=fake from x86 to admin-guide.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
