The current discontig (for both 2.4 & 2.6) only allocate
cpu_data on existing nodes (which means existing cpus
eventually), doesn't it?

We've found wrap_mmu_context() refers to all percpu data
and if the any of the cpu_data is not valid,
it may cause panic.

Attached patches are for 2.4 & 2.6, which are harmless
even when percpu data are allocated for non-existing
cpus.
