As Andreas pointed out, node_present_pages is set in free_area_init_node 
which only gets called at the very end of m68k mm paging_init.

The correct patch would be something like this - the need for the 
conditional is perhaps debatable, seeing as we set the pages present 
just before node_set_state.

Tested on my ARAnyM test setup so far. I'd like to wait for an 
independent kernel image built by Thorsten before I test on the actual 
hardware. Sorry but you'll have to restart your build Thorsten :-)
