For m68k, N_NORMAL_MEMORY represents all nodes that have present memory since it does not support HIGHMEM. This patch sets the bit at the time the node is brought online.

If N_NORMAL_MEMORY is not accurate, slub may encounter errors since it uses this nodemask to setup per-cache kmem_cache_node data structures.

As Andreas pointed out, node_present_pages is set in free_area_init_node which only gets called at the very end of m68k mm paging_init.

The correct patch would be something like this - the need for the conditional is perhaps debatable, seeing as we set the pages present just before node_set_state.

Tested on my ARAnyM test setup so far. I'd like to wait for an independent kernel image built by Thorsten before I test on the actual hardware. Sorry but you'll have to restart your build Thorsten :-)
