buffers: support per-numa-domain buffer size
Currently, buffers-per-numa is used for all NUMA domains, and there's no way to allocate different amounts for each domain. Therefore, this adds a per-NUMA-domain buffer config section, which currently has a single option to set the number of buffers. If it's not specified or set to zero, the code falls back to buffers-per-numa as before. Type: improvement Change-Id: If35d7a9eff6f8d1d78063ea7873dbf50780d0ec3 Signed-off-by: Lukas Stockner <lstockner@genesiscloud.com>
