But many BIOSes don't implement _PXM, which leaves the kernel with no way to discover the device topology, which reduces performance because we can't put memory and processes close to the device. The NUMA node of a PCI device is already exported in the sysfs "numa_node" file. Make that file writable so users can workaround the lack of _PXM methods in the BIOS. For example: echo 3 > /sys/devices/pci0000:ff/0000:03:1f.3/numa_node sets the node for PCI device 0000:03:1f.3. Writing the file emits a FW_BUG warning to encourage users to request firmware updates. It also taints the kernel with TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND because overriding the node incorrectly can cause performance issues.
