SubjectNUMA-Q breakage 7/7 preempt vs. printk bootstrap ordering
CONFIG_PREEMPT creates a bootstrap ordering issue as some implicit
scheduling done in printk.c raises exceptions prior to the secondary
cpus being prepared to handle them (seen as no vm86_info: BAD).

The workaround, enclosed below is not to use preempt on NUMA-Q.


Cheers,
Bill
