[patch -mm 2/5] x86_64: split remaining fake nodes equally

[David Rientjes <rientjes@cs.washington.edu>]

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining
system memory into equal-sized nodes.

For example:
numa=fake=2*512,4*	gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system
			memory is split into four approximately equal
			chunks.
