Absolutely. I'm not familiar with numa=fake on ppc, but if cpus are being
bound to nodes with which they don't have affinity, it definitely warrants
a fix such as this (although the initial value for fake_enabled looks
wrong and fake_numa_node_mapping[] can be __cpuinitdata). I'll cc you,
Ben, and Ankita on the x86_64 patches. Thanks.
