Which tends to reflect an error.

Commit 0e6e01ff694ee ("CPM/QE: use genalloc to manage CPM/QE muram")
has changed the way muram is managed.
genalloc uses kmalloc(), hence requires the SLAB to be up and running.
On powerpc 8xx, cpm_reset() is called early during startup.
cpm_reset() then calls cpm_muram_init() before SLAB is avail

These changes enable onlining memory into ZONE_MOVABLE on power, and the

Node hotplug is not supported on power [1]. The approach taken instead is to

The optimised crc32c implementation depends on VMX (aka. Altivec)
instructions, so the kernel must be built with Altivec support in order
for the crc32c code to build.
