Will investigate the NUMA-Q explosion and report on that separatly.
Ok, I've been looking at the NUMA-Q boot panic below:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

This seems to have been caused by the introduction of the following
code fragment into pci_create_bus:

        if (!parent)
                set_dev_node(b->bridge, pcibus_to_node(b));

This has come as part of the -mm patch below:

    try-parent-numa_node-at-first-before-using-default-v2.patch

This patch does not seem to be wrong in and of itself.  It does
expose the fact that we are building busses with NULL sysdata.
This has come up at least three times now.  Below is the patch
proposed the last couple of times.  It is needed to allow any machine
with i450nx quirk, plus for NUMA-Q systems.

All this could have happened due to my hamfisted repairing of yet another
reject storm, too.

Andrew please could you add this to -mm again.


ok..

Can we add .node and .iommu to pci_bus?
