rmpopt_scan_range() walked a single global [rmpopt_pa_start, rmpopt_pa_end]
range, which is only correct while every core shares one window. Read the
executing core's own RMPOPT_BASE instead and walk only that window, so each
core optimizes the window its own RMPOPT_BASE points at.
The window is described entirely by the RMPOPT_BASE MSR: RMPOPT_BASE_ADDR
(bits 51:30) is the 1 GB-aligned base and RMPOPT_TABLE_SIZE (bits 22:1) is
the window size in GB. Walk [base, base + size), clamped to the top of
populated memory.

A core's RMPOPT_BASE covers at most 2 TB of physical address space, so on
a system with more than 2 TB of RAM a single shared base leaves everything
above 2 TB unoptimized. Give each NUMA node its own window, placed over
that node's local memory, and program it on that node's cores. A core
overwhelmingly accesses its local node, so spending each node's 2 TB budget
on its own memory puts the optimization where the accesses land;
whole-machine coverage is the union of the per-node windows.
rmpopt_find_best_window() picks each node's base with a sliding-window
search: it slides a 2 TB window across physical memory a 1 GB at a time and
keeps the 1 GB-aligned base whose window best covers that node's own
memory. When all of RAM fits in a single window the search returns the
start of RAM, so all cores share one window as before. Because the
per-node search is bounded to the populated physical address range and
accounts for unpopulated regions explicitly, a node's window never falls
off the end of RAM into empty physical address space.
The warm-up then covers every window. A <=2TB system has the single
shared window and is warmed once; a >2TB system warms each node's window in
parallel on a node-local core via schedule_work_on(). Either way the
warm-up runs with interrupts enabled, so the expensive first (uncached)
pass never runs in the interrupts-disabled fan-out that follows.
