This patch in combination with a partial revert of commit
04231b3002ac53f8a64a7bd142fde3fa4b6808c6 fixes a regression between 2.6.23
and 2.6.24-rc8 where a PPC64 machine with all CPUS on a memoryless node fails
to boot. If approved by the SLAB maintainers, it should be merged for 2.6.24.

This change alone does not help, its not the version I tested.
Will all the changes below go into 2.6.24 as well, in a seperate patch?

-       for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY) {
+       for_each_online_node(node) {

Those changes are already in a separate patch and have been sent. I don't
see it in git yet but it should be on the way.
