numa is an existing machine feature, add it to the list so that users
are aware of it.

Added back in 2018 with 830880a6888270e047271137f43a643b218050d4, so 
it's a candidate for backport to dunfell and kirkstone I would assume.

I am now wondering if there's some list of supported MACHINE_FEATURES or 
if the list is THAT one in the docs?

Cheers,
Quentin

I just happened to see numa in linux-yocto.inc and the 2 entries there
for MACHINE_FEATURES seemed very lacking.  I'm working on a patch for
that.

The docs list was the only thing I found approaching a canonical list of
MACHINE_FEATURES, but I do wonder how complete it is.

Thanks,
Jon

Good idea. I'll send the corresponding patches.
Cheers
