Ah, yes, seems the panic was caused by smp_prepare_cpus() using
uninitialized numa_cpu_lookup_table for cpus which are possible but not
present during boottime. 

However, by following change, it seems those cpus will be set to node 0
at boottime, and not be changed after they become present, because of
the following check in numa_setup_cpu(): 
        if ((nid = numa_cpu_lookup_table[lcpu]) >= 0) {
                map_cpu_to_node(lcpu, nid);
                return nid;
        }

Maybe we could change the smp_prepare_cpus() to set numa information for
present cpus instead? 

And for those possible, !present cpus, we could do the setup after they
are started. 

Thanks, Zhong
