[RFC PATCH] SYSCTL_numainfo.memsize: Switch spanned to present memory



This the 2nd part of my submission to fix the NUMA node memsize
retured in xen_sysctl_meminfo[].memsize by the XEN_SYSCTL_numainfo
hypercall to not count MMIO memory holes etc but only memory pages.

For this, we introduced NODE_DATA->node_present_pages as a prereq.
With the prereq merged in master, I send this 2nd part for review:

This RFC is for changing the value of xen_sysctl_meminfo[]->memsize
from NODE_DATA->node_spanned_pages << PAGE_SHIFT
  to NODE_DATA->node_present_pages << PAGE_SHIFT
for returing total present NUMA node memory instead of spanned range.

Sample of struct xen_sysctl_meminfo[].* as presented by in xl info -n:

xl info -n:
[...]
node:    memsize    memfree    distances
   0:  -> 67584 <-   60672      10,21
   1:     65536      60958      21,10

The -> memsize <- marked here is the value that we'd like to fix:
The current value based node_spanned_pages is often 2TB too large.

We're currently not using these often false memsize values in XenServer
according to my code review and and Andrew seemed to confirm this as well.

I think that the same is likely true for other Xen toolstacks, but of course
to review this change or propose an alternaive is the purpose of this RFC.

Thanks,
Bernhard
