Out of interest, have you tried booting a NUMA enabled kernel to see what 
dmesg reports?  On an old laptop, which definitely has only a single AMD APU, 
I get:

$ dmesg | grep -i NUMA -A2
[    0.002078] No NUMA configuration found
[    0.002080] Faking a node at [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000042effffff]
[    0.002085] NODE_DATA(0) allocated [mem 0x42effc000-0x42effffff]
