I was mislead because node gets placed verbatim into desc->node which at first glance seemed invalid but on second look it seems to be fine, everything which reads that value is prepared to accept the -1. There is precedent for using -1 in hpet_assign_irq, although most other places seem to use numa_node_id(). I've tested with -1 and it seems ok. I see (too late) that you've already made the change so I guess you knew this ;-) Are you going to put this change into next-2.6.32 as well as 37?
