I still don't understand why emu_nid_to_phys[] can't return NUMA_NO_NODE 
and this needs to be done at all.  An emulated node should be mapped to a 
physical node based on the address ranges of that emulated node, so it's 
impossible for that to not map directly to a physical online node.  We 
don't support memoryless emulated nodes for hotpluggable SRAT entries.
