+NUMA binding description.
+==============================================================================
+
+==============================================================================
+1 - Introduction
+==============================================================================
+
+Systems employing a Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture contain
+collections of hardware resources including processors, memory, and I/O buses,
+that comprise what is commonly known as a NUMA node.
+Processor accesses to memory within the local NUMA node is generally faster
+than processor accesses to memory outside of the local NUMA node.
+DT defines interfaces that allow the platform to convey NUMA node
+topology information to OS.
+
+==============================================================================
+2 - proximity
+==============================================================================
+The proximity device node property describes proximity domains within a
+machine. This property can be used in device nodes like cpu, memory, bus and
+devices to map to respective numa nodes.
+
+proximity property is a 32-bit integer which defines numa node id to which
+this device node has numa proximity association.
+
+Example:
+ /* numa node 0 */
+ proximity = <0>;
+
+ /* numa node 1 */
+ proximity = <1>;
+
+==============================================================================
+3 - distance-map
+==============================================================================
+
+The device tree node distance-map describes the relative
+distance (memory latency) between all numa nodes.
+
+- distance-matrix
+ This property defines a matrix to describe the relative distances
+ between all numa nodes.
+ It is represented as a list of node pairs and their relative distance.
+
+ Note:
+ 1. If there is no distance-map, the system should setup:
+
+ local/local: 10
+ local/remote: 20
+ for all node distances.
+
+ 2. If both directions between 2 nodes have the same distance, only
+ one entry is required.
+ 3. distance-matrix shold have entries in ascending order of nodes.
+ 4. Device node distance-map must reside in the root node.
+
+Example:
+ 4 nodes connected in mesh/ring topology as below,
+
+ 0_______20______1
+ | |
+ | |
+ 20 | |20
+ | |
+ | |
+ |_______________|
+ 3 20 2
+
+ if relative distance for each hop is 20,
+ then inter node distance would be for this topology will be,
+ 0 -> 1 = 20
+ 1 -> 2 = 20
+ 2 -> 3 = 20
+ 3 -> 0 = 20
+ 0 -> 2 = 40
+ 1 -> 3 = 40
+
+ and dt presentation for this distance matrix is,
+
+ distance-map {
+ distance-matrix = <0 0 10>,
+ <0 1 20>,
+ <0 2 40>,
+ <0 3 20>,
+ <1 0 20>,
+ <1 1 10>,
+ <1 2 20>,
+ <1 3 40>,
+ <2 0 40>,
+ <2 1 20>,
+ <2 2 10>,
+ <2 3 20>,
+ <3 0 20>,
+ <3 1 40>,
+ <3 2 20>,
+ <3 3 10>;
+ };
+
+Note:
+ 1. The entries like <0 0> <1 1> <2 2> <3 3>
+ can be optional and system can put default value(local distance,
i.e 10).
+ 2. The entries like <1 0> can be optional if <0 1> and <1 0>
+ are of same distance.
