x86/numa: cleanup configuration dependent command-line options

Patch series "device-dax: Support sub-dividing soft-reserved ranges", v5.

The device-dax facility allows an address range to be directly mapped
through a chardev, or optionally hotplugged to the core kernel page
allocator as System-RAM.  It is the mechanism for converting persistent
memory (pmem) to be used as another volatile memory pool i.e.  the current
Memory Tiering hot topic on linux-mm.

In the case of pmem the nvdimm-namespace-label mechanism can sub-divide
it, but that labeling mechanism is not available / applicable to
soft-reserved ("EFI specific purpose") memory [3].  This series provides a
sysfs-mechanism for the daxctl utility to enable provisioning of
volatile-soft-reserved memory ranges.

The motivations for this facility are:

1/ Allow performance differentiated memory ranges to be split between
   kernel-managed and directly-accessed use cases.

2/ Allow physical memory to be provisioned along performance relevant
   address boundaries. For example, divide a memory-side cache [4] along
   cache-color boundaries.

3/ Parcel out soft-reserved memory to VMs using device-dax as a security
   / permissions boundary [5]. Specifically I have seen people (ab)using
   memmap=nn!ss (mark System-RAM as Persistent Memory) just to get the
   device-dax interface on custom address ranges. A follow-on for the VM
   use case is to teach device-dax to dynamically allocate 'struct page' at
   runtime to reduce the duplication of 'struct page' space in both the
   guest and the host kernel for the same physical pages.

This patch (of 23):

In preparation for adding a new numa= option clean up the existing ones to
avoid ifdefs in numa_setup(), and provide feedback when the option is
numa=fake= option is invalid due to kernel config.  The same does not need
to be done for numa=noacpi, since the capability is already hard disabled
at compile-time.
