argh, I'd forgotten about that. You bisected it down to a clearly-innocent
patch and none of the mm developers appeared interested.

Oh well, it'll probably be in mainline tomorrow. That should get it
fixed.

We've tracked this down to a problem where the nodeid might be invalid. Kamalesh
is investigating problem. We suspect we are doing a kmalloc_node with an invalid
nodeid.

We see

cpu with no node 2, num_online_nodes 1
cpu with no node 3, num_online_nodes 1

in the bootlog. Kamalesh verified that the problem exists with both slub and slab.
