QEMU NUMA and U-Boot

top posting what now works for me:
- changed calculation of memory size to loop through different memory nodes
- added numa_node to banks
- filter out banks that do not match the target mixup node (do not want to
change ABI to add node information)
That's not satisfying overall but at least my code works with NUMA on Qemu.
