[PATCH] x86-64: fixed size remaining fake nodes

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining system
memory into nodes of fixed size.  Any leftover memory is allocated to a final
node unless the command-line ends with a comma.

For example:
  numa=fake=2*512,*128	gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system
			memory is split into nodes of 128M each.

This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not
necessarily relevant, but the size of the remaining nodes to be allocated is
known based on their capacity for resource management.
