x86, numa: Remove configurable node size support for numa emulation
Now that numa=fake=<size>[MG] is implemented, it is possible to remove
configurable node size support.  The command-line parsing was already
broken (numa=fake=*128, for example, would not work) and since fake nodes
are now interleaved over physical nodes, this support is no longer
required.

-  numa=fake=CMDLINE
-		If a number, fakes CMDLINE nodes and ignores NUMA setup of the
-		actual machine.  Otherwise, system memory is configured
-		depending on the sizes and coefficients listed.  For example:
-			numa=fake=2*512,1024,4*256,*128
-		gives two 512M nodes, a 1024M node, four 256M nodes, and the
-		rest split into 128M chunks.  If the last character of CMDLINE
-		is a *, the remaining memory is divided up equally among its
-		coefficient:
-			numa=fake=2*512,2*
-		gives two 512M nodes and the rest split into two nodes.
-		Otherwise, the remaining system RAM is allocated to an
-		additional node.
+  numa=fake=<N>
+		If given as an integer, fills all system RAM with N fake nodes
+		interleaved over physical nodes.
