It was suggested by Andrew that using a macro that made an array

Cleaned up use of macro. We now reference the pgtable_cache array

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
powerpc: Reserve in boo
If mem= is used on the boot command line to limit memory then the memory block
where a 16G page resides may not be available.
Thanks to Michael Ellerman for finding the problem.

Looking at the source code in numa.c I see at the start of
do_init_bootmem() that parse_numa_properties() is called. It appears to
be looking at memory nodes and getting the node i
