    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>
    Date:   Thu May 1 09:51:47 2008 +0000
        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?
