Oh that's a 32bit kernel. I don't think the 32bit NUMA has ever worked
anywhere but some Summit systems (at least every time I tried it it

finally time to mark it CONFIG_BROKEN though or just remove it (even
by design it doesn't work very well)
Bollocks. It works fine, and is tested every single day, on every git
release, and every -mm tree.
Whatever the case, there definitely does not appear to be sufficient
zone alignment enforced for the buddy allocator. I cannot see how it
could work if zones are not aligned on 4MB boundaries.
Maybe some architectures / subarch code naturally does this for us,
but Ingo is definitely hitting this bug because his config does not
(align, that is).
I've randomly added a couple more cc's.
