For m68k, N_NORMAL_MEMORY represents all nodes that have present memory
since it does not support HIGHMEM.  This patch sets the bit at the time the
node is brought online.

If N_NORMAL_MEMORY is not accurate, slub may encounter errors since it
uses this nodemask to setup per-cache kmem_cache_node data structures.

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 :-)

I think you are right. however I doubt m68k need to care memoryless node check.
probably following patch just work.

Maybe, the correct solution is to use CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP feature.
the usage is simple, adding add_active_range() and replacing
free_area_init_node() with free_area_init_nodes().

Thanks.
