Suresh, could you give this patch a try?  It turns out that the 
mp_bus_to_node map simply leaves all busses that don't have memory 
affinity to -1, so cpu_online_mask is actually the appropriate cpumask to 
return and x86 doesn't catch this.


x86: default pcibus cpumask to all cpus if it lacks affinity

The early initialization of the pci bus to node mapping leaves all busses
with a node id of -1 if it lacks memory affinity.  Thus, cpumask_of_pcibus
must return all online cpus for such busses.
