bill, I recently helped Jesse Barnes push a patch that addresses this kind
of issue on CoreI7, the root cause was the numa_node variable was
initialized based on slot on AMD systems, but needed to be set to -1 by
default on systems with a uniform IOH to slot architecture.

here is the commit ID:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=commit;h=3c38
d674be519109696746192943a6d524019f7f

I'm not sure it is in linus' tree yet, this link is to net-next

Maybe see if it helps?
