+ If a number, fakes CMDLINE nodes and ignores NUMA setup of the

+ depending on the sizes and coefficients listed. For example:
+ numa=fake=2*512,1024,4*256,*128

+ is a *, the remaining memory is divided up equally among its
+ coefficient:
+ numa=fake=2*512,2*
+ gives two 512M nodes and the rest split into two nodes.
+ Otherwise, the remaining system RAM is allocated to an
