SubjectRe: [patch 2/2] enables booting a NUMA system where some nodes have no memory

Ok, so we got a useless pglist_data struct and the struct zone contains a
zonelist that does not include the zone.

numa_node_id() points to this and we always get allocations redirected to
other nodes. The slab duplicates its per node structures on the fallback
node.

So we will never encounter that zone except when going to the
pglist_data struct through numa_node_id()?
