Pretty hard to decipher, but that's typical for PAPR.

This representation doesn't make it clear that the 9 is a u32, but the
rest are u8s.

You haven't actually described how ibm,associativity-reference-points
operates in Form2.

Squashing the full range of distances into just 0, 1 or 2 seems odd.
But then, this whole cpu_distance() thing being distinct from
node_distance() seems odd.

Hmm.. couldn't we simplify this whole __node_distance function, if we
just update numa_distance_table[][] appropriately for Form0 and Form1
as well?

Ew.  Calling a function called "find_primary_domain_index" to also
initialize the main distance table is needlessly counterintuitive.
Move this call to parse_numa_properties().
