Suresh Jayaram reported this yesterday with mmotm on T60p laptop but 
hasn't been able to look into it further.  My T60p doesn't crash with it 
so I'm assuming it's some bootstrap issue with an initscript reading 
`local_cpus' before the per-cpu nodemasks are allocated.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS might be able to diagnose the issue.
