We're seeing a boot failure on powerpc. git bisect points the problem
at this commit. However reverting just this one comitt doesn't fix the
regression. I also needed to revert
04753278769f3b6c3b79a080edb52f21d83bf6e2 (memory hotplug: register
section/node id to free")
Problem seen on power4, power5 and ps3.
If the fix isn't trivial, can we get that patch series reverted?
FWIW a boot looks like:
