OK, so it is clear that building zonelists this early is not going to
fly. We do not have the complete information yet. I am not sure when do
we get that at this moment but I suspect the we either need to move that
initialization to a sooner stage or we have to reconsider whether the
phase when we build zonelists really needs to consider only online numa
nodes.

I hope to get to this before I leave for christmas vacation, if not I
will stare into it after then.
