Page number 833.

which says 
ibm,current-associativity-domains”
	property name to define the current number of associativity
	domains for this platform.
	prop-encoded-array: An associativity list such that all values are
	the number of unique values that the current platform supports
	in that location. The associativity list consisting of a number of
	entries integer (N) encoded as with encode-int followed by N
	integers encoded as with encode-int each representing current
	number of unique associativity domains the platform supports at
	that level.

I have very less info on LPM, so I checked with Nathan Lynch before posting
and as per Nathan in the current design of LPM, Linux wouldn't use the new
node numbers.
