reasons. As it turns out, a printk() bodge showed that 
nr_cpus_allowed == 80 set in sched_init_smp() while 
num_online_cpus() == 48. This effectively disabling 
numacore. If you had responded to the bug report, this would 
likely have been found last Wednesday.

Does changing it from num_online_cpus() to num_possible_cpus() 
help? (Can send a patch if you want.)

I.e. something like the patch below.

Thanks,
