+Description:
+                When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, a symbolic link that
+                points to the corresponding NUMA node directory.
+
+                For example, the following symbolic link is created for
+                memory section 9 on node0:
+                /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/node0 -> ../../node/node0
