What I'm fighting now is getting linux/arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c to build.
Some of the structures to track numa info (struct pglist_data) are
rather linux specific and include lots of structures related to Linux mm
zones, check out linux/include/linux/mmzone.h.  I attempted to avoid
bring in that in, but the pfn_to_nid/phys_to_nid macros are based on
memnodemap array.


I guess you can just replace setup_node_bootmem / setup_node_zones /
numa_free_all_bootmem with Xen specific functions. They should be the only
functions dealing with pglists and they're relatively straight forward.

Yes, my gut feeling looking at x86_64's numa.c is that it's going to need some heavier surgery than srat.c. I wouldn't worry so much about keeping that one close to the Linux original: if we end up pulling down more Linux memory bookkeeping code later then we can always go back and sync the file more closely. Keep it as clean as possible though, obviously (e.g., replacing whole functions is nicer than functions that are a hacky halfway house between Linux and Xen, etc).
