Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: cope with no remap space being allocated for a numa node


When allocating the pgdat's for numa nodes on x86_32 we attempt to
place them in the numa remap space for that node.  However should
the node not have any remap space allocated (such as due to having
non-ram pages in the remap location in the node) then we will
incorrectly place the pgdat at zero.  Check we have remap available,
falling back to node 0 memory where we do not.
