thanks for tracking it down! This was the origin of the commit:

# tip/x86/numa: a9ad585: x86: remove the static 256k node_to_cpumask_map

which has been in -tip since May 12 and in linux-next for two weeks
AFAICS, which is beyond the point of being something freshly wrong.

So i suspect something more subtle here. What compiler version are you
using? This crash is not something that has been found in testing before
- i use rather new compilers, gcc 4.2.2 most of the time. Previous
compilers miscompile the kernel seriously so it's not usable for our
regression testing grid.

until more is found out i've put the revert into tip/x86/numa for now.
Note, you'll also need the commit below for 32-bit NUMA.
