Merge branch 'acpi-numa'
* acpi-numa: docs: mm: numaperf.rst Add brief description for access class 1. node: Add access1 class to represent CPU to memory characteristics ACPI: HMAT: Fix handling of changes from ACPI 6.2 to ACPI 6.3 ACPI: Let ACPI know we support Generic Initiator Affinity Structures x86: Support Generic Initiator only proximity domains ACPI: Support Generic Initiator only domains ACPI / NUMA: Add stub function for pxm_to_node() irq-chip/gic-v3-its: Fix crash if ITS is in a proximity domain without processor or memory ACPI: Remove side effect of partly creating a node in acpi_get_node() ACPI: Rename acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node() to pxm_to_online_node() ACPI: Remove side effect of partly creating a node in acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node() ACPI: Do not create new NUMA domains from ACPI static tables that are not SRAT ACPI: Add out of bounds and numa_off protections to pxm_to_node()
