one guess would be:

| commit e8ee6f0ae5cd860e8e6c02807edfa3c1fa01bcb5
| Author: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@xxxxxxxxx>
| Date:   Sun Apr 13 01:41:58 2008 -0700

|     x86: work around io allocation overlap of HT links

but ... since CONFIG_NUMA makes it work, i'm not sure about that.

Randy, could you post the full CONFIG_NUMA bootlog as well, does it show 
any difference in resource allocations?
