[IA64] Limit the maximum NODEDATA_ALIGN() offset

The per-node data structures are allocated with strided offsets that are a
function of the node number. This prevents excessive cache-aliasing from
occurring.

On systems with a large number of nodes, the strided offset becomes
too large. This patch restricts the maximum offset to 32MB. This is far larger
than the size of any current L3 cache.
