The first patch in this series is a genuine bug fix. The rest
are really just an RFC.
Jon introduced a bug a while ago. I introduced another when
trying to fix Jon's bug. I refuse to accept personal blame for
this and, instead, blame the code. :)
The reset of the series are "cleanups" that I think will help
clarify the code in numa.c and work to ensure that the next
bonehead like me is not as able to easily muck up the code. :)
The cleanups increase in impact and intrusiveness as the series
goes along, so please consider them an RFC. But, what I really
want to figure out is a safer way to initialize NODE_DATA() and
start using it as we bring up bootmem on all the nodes.
