i'm leaning towards v4, but the more fundamental breakage is in the
early_node_mem() ad-hoc allocator that got butchered into this code a
year ago:

[PATCH] x86_64: Handle empty PXMs that only contain hotplug memory
...
+static void * __init
+early_node_mem(int nodeid, unsigned long start, unsigned long end,
+ unsigned long size)
and we are now suffering the side-effects of that hack.
what i suspect we need instead is a proper early-allocator that works in
the e820 space.
