static void *____cache_alloc_node(struct kmem_cache *cachep, gfp_t flags,
                                int nodeid)
{
        struct list_head *entry;
        struct slab *slabp;
        struct kmem_list3 *l3;
        void *obj;
        int x;

        l3 = cachep->nodelists[nodeid];
        BUG_ON(!l3);

I _looks_ like an ordering problem, but slab is all set up by then.

Strange.
