SubjectRe: [PATCH] you have how many nodes??
Ok, I made an attempt to clean up this mess quite a while ago (2.5.47), 
but that patch is utterly useless now. At Martin's urging I've created
a new series of patches to resolve this.

01 - Make sure MAX_NUMNODES is defined in one and only one place.
Remove superfluous definitions. Instead of defining MAX_NUMNODES in
asm/numnodes.h, we define NODES_SHIFT there. Then in linux/mmzone.h we
turn that NODES_SHIFT value into MAX_NUMNODES.

02 - Remove MAX_NR_NODES. This value is only used in a couple of
places, and it's incorrectly used in all those places as far as I can
tell. Replace with MAX_NUMNODES. Create MAX_NODES_SHIFT and use this
value to check NODES_SHIFT is appropriate. A possible future patch
should make MAX_NODES_SHIFT vary based on 32 vs. 64 bit archs.

03 - Fix up the sh arch. sh defined NR_NODES, change sh to use standard
MAX_NUMNODES instead.

04 - Fix up the arm arch. This needs to be reviewed. Relatively
straightforward replacement of NR_NODES with standard MAX_NUMNODES.

05 - Fix up the ia64 arch. This *definitely* needs to be reviewed.
This code made my head hurt. I think I may have gotten it right.
Totally untested.

Cheers!
