Yap, I figured as much as this is kinda like the only place where you'd
care about the actual node id.

That's fine as long as it is properly documented what it does.

Well, since we're going to need this in the translation logic and that
is part of amd64_edac and there we said we'll move the family type up
into amd64_pvt so that you can have a family descriptor per node, then I
guess you're all set. :-)

Sure, np.

Thx.
