RHEL is shipping it now, apparently without any problems.

The 'pciseg' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git pciseg

So are the NUMA issues now taken care of properly?

I assume IBM would have complained if it was broken in RHEL.

But iirc Summit has two BIOS options for this. Maybe they just recommend
to set the other one for Linux. Anyways I guess that can be all figured
out once the patch is in tree.
