Summary

Enable DEVICE_NUMA with up to 8 domains by default on amd64.

8 memory domains should handle a quad-socket board with dual-domain
processors.

Note that I've left this off on i386. arm64 might want to make a
similar change since it also uses ACPI, but I'll leave that up to Andrew.
Not sure if arm64 has an SRAT parser yet? (If the x86 SRAT / SLIT parsers
Just Work on arm64, we should perhaps make that file MI and move it out to
sys/dev/acpica.)

As a side note, MINIMAL seems to be rotting a bit (or at least not
maintained). I think PCI_IOV needs to be present there as that isn't
availabe as a module. It also doesn't have IPSEC (also not availabe as a
module). Its comment about ACPI as a module is also wrong (ACPI was never
supported as a module on amd64, and on i386 we eventually removed it).
It was stable on i386, it just made some things less efficient when used
as a module. I think NUMA also requires it to be working earlier than
modules are enabled, so NUMA means it can't be a module anyway. (The
old acpi.ko on i386 predates the SRAT parser.)
