I'd love to, but then it never boots at all, and stops after "Setup done".

I'll now try with "flatmem", although on powerpc, sparsemem seems to be 
the default, and I bet that's the cause: 

	config ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT
	        def_bool y
	        depends on SMP && PPC_PSERIES

just because I had PSERIES enabled (which is _also_ the default).

So nobody has clearly ever tested either NUMA nor SPARSEMEM, yet they are 
both enabled by default. Tssk.
