Subject[PATCH x86/urgent] x86: Disable AMD_NUMA for 32bit for now
Commit 2706a0bf7b "x86, NUMA: Enable CONFIG_AMD_NUMA on 32bit too"
enabled AMD NUMA for 32bit too. Unfortunately, SPARSEMEM on 32bit had
rather coarse (512MiB) addr->node mapping granularity due to lack of
space in page->flags. This led to boot failure on certain AMD NUMA
machines which had 128MiB alignment on nodes.

Patches to properly detect this condition and reject NUMA
configuration are posted[1] but deemed too pervasive for merge at this
point (-rc6). Disable AMD NUMA for 32bit for now and re-enable once
the detection logic is merged.
