I know new typedefs are not welcome, but in this case, it could be nice
to define a fundamental type node_t (like pte_t, pmd_t, pgd_t, ...).

Clean NUMA code deserves it. 

#if MAX_NUMNODES > 256
typedef u16 node_t;
#else
typedef u8 node_t;
#endif

In 2016, we can add u32 for MAX_NUMNODES > 65536

Another point: you want this change, sorry if my previous mail was not detailed enough :

--- a/arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c
+++ b/arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c

Thanks
