cpu_to_node() can return NUMA_NO_NODE after system booted (when node offline) currently.
so I don't think it is seriously broken if cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE
when booting.

See:

static void unmap_cpu_on_node(pg_data_t *pgdat)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA
	int cpu;

	for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
		if (cpu_to_node(cpu) == pgdat->node_id)
			numa_clear_node(cpu);
#endif
}
