Current mainline is a bit different from this:

printk(KERN_INFO "Enabling automatic NUMA balancing. "
"Configure with numa_balancing= or the kernel.numa_balancing sysctl");

So this won't apply as-is to -stable.

I assume you suggested the -stable backport to fix the
it-crashes-before-c4b2c0c5 thing, so it isn't really needed in 3.12.x.

Or something. Please sort all that out when Greg comes back with
a hey-that-didnt-apply.
