[PATCH] x86-64: fixed size remaining fake nodes
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining system memory into nodes of fixed size. Any leftover memory is allocated to a final node unless the command-line ends with a comma. For example: numa=fake=2*512,*128 gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system memory is split into nodes of 128M each. This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not necessarily relevant, but the size of the remaining nodes to be allocated is known based on their capacity for resource management.
