This patch on v3.9-rc3 has been tested on multi-node POWER7 with
different device tree combinations.

numactl -H would show local distance '10' for same node and remote
distance '20' for other nodes.  This ensures NUMA level sched domain
gets built and load balancing could work across such configurations.
