Here's a patch that applies to "powerpc/64: defer paca allocation
until memory topology is discovered". The first hunk fixes the ppc32
issue, and the second hunk avoids freeing the cpu_to_phys_id array
if the platform didn't allocate it. But I've just realized that
should go into the previous patch (which is missing the
memblock_free).
