Subject: Re: Oops on Power8 (was Re: [PATCH v2 1/7] workqueue: make workqueue
 available early during boot)

Hello, Michael.

Other NUMA archs are lazy-initializing cpu to node mapping too, so we
need to fix it from workqueue side.  This also means that we've been
getting NUMA node wrong for percpu pools on those archs.

Can you please try the following patch and if it resolves the issue,
report the workqueue part (it's at the end) of sysrq-t dump?

Thanks.
