this one should fix the problem.

[PATCH -v3] x86,nobootmem: make alloc_bootmem_node fall back to other node when 32bit numa are used

Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com> reported his 32bit numa has problem:

looks like it allocate much high address for bootmem.

try to cut limit with get_max_mapped()

-v3: make alloc_bootmem_node could fallback to other node.
     just like old alloc_bootmem_node did

need this patch for 2.6.34 and 2.6.35
