Sachin recently reported that linux-next was no more bootable on few
systems.

Sachin bisected the problem to Commit a75056fc1e7c ("mm/memcontrol.c: allocate
shrinker_map on appropriate NUMA node")

The root cause analysis showed that mm/slub and powerpc/numa had some shortcomings
with respect to offline nodes.
