The NUMA_NO_NODE thing. It's is physical impossibility. And if the
device description doesn't give us a node, then the description is
incomplete and wrong and we should bloody well complain about it.

Which is a physical impossibility.

I'm saying the ACPI standard is wrong. Explain to me how it is
physically possible to have a device without NUMA affinity in a NUMA
system?

 1) The fundamental interconnect is not uniform.
 2) The device needs to actually be somewhere.

From these it seems to follow that access to the device is subject to
NUMA.
