Subject: 16G related patches for stable kernel 2.6.27

Please consider the following patches for the 2.6.27 stable tree.

The first two allow a powerpc machine with more then 2 numa nodes
to boot when 16G pages are enabled.  The third one allows a powerpc
machine to boot if using 16G pages and the mem= boot param.

thanks,
Jon
