Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:
Initializing HighMem for node 0 (
00038000:
00100000)
Initializing HighMem for node 1 (

kernel BUG at /home/apw/git/linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c:456!
[...]
This occurs because the section to node id mapping is not being
setup correctly during init under SPARSEMEM_STATIC, leading to an
attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.
When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new
section to node mapping table was introduced:

[PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]
That conversion inadvertantly only initialised the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Ensure we initialise the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.
