I agree :)

I'm working on the new version and met the problem of no
definition for numa_add_memblk() and numa_set_distance()
on IA64, numa_set_distance() seems to easy to add one for
IA64, but numa_add_memblk() is not, this will the blocker
for moving functions to common place, what's your opinion
here?

Also I'm thinking to move all the code in arch/arm64/kernel/acpi_numa.c
to the arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c to make the ACPI code in ARM64
self-contained, what do you think?

Thanks
Hanjun
