Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86: leave initial __cpu_pda array in place until cpus are booted

  * The __cpu_pda table must be a set of NULL entries (except for the boot cpu)
    to indicate to numa_set_node during early system initialization that the
    cpu pdas are not yet setup.  The pda nodenumber is set later in pda_init().

Based on:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
    +   sched-devel/latest  .../mingo/linux-2.6-sched-devel.git
