Large page first chunk allocator is primarily used for NUMA machines; however, its NUMA handling is extremely simplistic. Regardless of their proximity, each cpu is put into separate large page just to return most of the allocated space back wasting large amount of vmalloc space and increasing cache footprint. This patch teachs NUMA details to large page allocator. Given processor proximity information, pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() will find fitting cpu -> unit mapping in which cpus in LOCAL_DISTANCE share the same large page and not too much virtual address space is wasted. This greatly reduces the unit and thus chunk size and wastes much less address space for the first chunk. For example, on 4/4 NUMA machine, the original code occupied 16MB of virtual space for the first chunk while the new code only uses 4MB - one 2MB page for each node.
