+Physical memory map and its node assignments.

+The format of data in MEM_TOPOLOGY is as follows:
+
+ 0 - version | for future changes
+ 8 - block_size_bytes | /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
+ 16 - count | number of nodes
+
+For each node we store map of physical indexes:
+
+ 32 - node id | node index
+ 40 - size | size of bitmap
+ 48 - bitmap | bitmap of memory indexes that belongs to node
+ | /sys/devices/system/node/node<NODE>/memory<INDEX>

+The MEM_TOPOLOGY can be displayed with following command:
+
