acpi_numa is a specific NUMA switch for ACPI NUMA implementation.
Other NUMA implementation may not need this switch. But this switch is
not only used by ACPI code, it is also used directly in some general
NUMA logic code. So far this hasn't caused any problem because Xen only
has x86 implementing ACPI NUMA, but now Arm is implementing device tree
based NUMA. Accesssing acpi_numa directly in some functions will be a
block of reusing NUMA common code. It is also difficult for us to replace
it with a new generic switch, because it is hard to prove that the new
switch states can guarantee the original code will work correctly.

So in this patch, we provide two helpers for common code to update and
get states of acpi_numa. And other new NUMA implementations just need
to provide the same helpers for common code. In this case, the generic
NUMA logic code can be reused by all NUMA implementations.

v4 -> v5:
1. Use arch_numa_broken instead of arch_numa_disabled for
   acpi_numa < 0 check. Because arch_numa_disabled might
   include acpi_numa < 0 (init failed) and acpi_numa == 0
   (no data or data no init) cases.
v3 -> v4:
1. Drop parameter from arch_numa_disabled, the parameter will be
   introduced in later patch where use it.
2. Drop unnecessary "else" from arch_numa_setup, and fix its
   indentation.
v2 -> v3:
1. Drop enumeration of numa status.
2. Use helpers to get/update acpi_numa.
3. Insert spaces among parameters of strncmp in numa_setup.
v1 -> v2:
1. Remove fw_numa.
2. Use enumeration to replace numa_off and acpi_numa.
3. Correct return value of srat_disabled.
4. Introduce numa_enabled_with_firmware.

When making the v5 changes, did you go over the results to check they are
actually consistent? I'm afraid they still aren't, because of the line
above: Here we disable NUMA, but that doesn't mean there's broken firmware.
Therefore I guess I need to ask for another round of renaming of the two
helper functions; I'm sorry for that. What you introduce ...

... here wants to be arch_numa_disabled(), whereas the function currently
named this way (in patch 5) wants to be e.g. arch_numa_unavailable() (or,
using inverted sense, arch_numa_available()). Of course I'll be happy to
see other naming suggestions for both functions, as long as they reflect
the respective purposes.

Alternatively, to retain the current naming, the assignments to acpi_numa
would need revising. But I think that would be the more fragile approach.

Yes, you're right. I had not realized it while I was modifying this patch.

Yes, I agree with you, I will rename these two functions. Your suggested 
names are reasonable, I will use them in next version.
