    After bisecting, the acpi-acpi_numa_init-build-fix.patch patch seems
    to be causing the kernel panic during the bootup. Reverting the patch helps
    in booting up the machine without the panic.

    commit 5dc90c0b2d4bd0127624bab67cec159b2c6c4daf
    Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

    acpi-acpi_numa_init-build-fix

    x86.git testing found the following build error on latest -git:

    drivers/acpi/numa.c: In function 'acpi_numa_init':
    drivers/acpi/numa.c:226: error: 'NR_NODE_MEMBLKS' undeclared (first use in this function)
    drivers/acpi/numa.c:226: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    drivers/acpi/numa.c:226: error: for each function it appears in.)

    with this config:

    http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Apr_30_22_42_42_CEST_2008.bad

    i suspect we dont want SRAT parsing when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PARSE_SRAT
    is unset - but the fix looks a bit ugly. Perhaps we should define
    NR_NODE_MEMBLKS even in this case and just let the code fall back
    to some sane behavior?
