Fixup:

Size of memnode.embedded_map needs to be changed to
accomodate 16-bit node ids as suggested by Eric.

V2->V3:
    - changed memnode.embedded_map from [64-16] to [64-8]
      (and size comment to 128 bytes)

V1->V2:
    - changed pxm_to_node_map to u16
    - changed memnode map entries to u16

fixup:

    Split cpu_to_node function into "early" and "late" versions
    so that x86_cpu_to_node_map_{init,early_ptr} are not EXPORT'ed.
    This also involves setting up the percpu maps as early as possible.

V2->V3:
    - add early_cpu_to_node function to keep cpu_to_node efficient
    - move and rename smp_set_apicids() to setup_percpu_maps()
    - call setup_percpu_maps() as early as possible

V1->V2:
    - Removed extraneous casts
    - Fix !NUMA builds with '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA"

Change static bios_cpu_apicid array to a per_cpu data variable.
This includes using a static array used during initialization
similar to the way x86_cpu_to_apicid[] is handled.

There is one early use of bios_cpu_apicid in apic_is_clustered_box().
The other reference in cpu_present_to_apicid() is called after
smp_set_apicids() has setup the percpu version of bios_cpu_apicid.

I've picked it up for x86.git and i'll keep testing it (the patches seem 
straightforward) and will report any problems with the bite-head-off 
option unset.

[ The 32-bit NUMA compile issue is orthogonal to these patches - it's 
  due to the lack of 32-bit NUMA support in your changes :) That needs 
  fixing before this could go into v2.6.25. ]

I hadn't considered doing 32-bit NUMA changes as I didn't know if the
NR_CPUS count would really be increased for the 32-bit architecture.
I have been trying though not to break it. ;-)
