See attached. There are a few extra messages from my own debug printk()
calls. It seems that we successfully deal with node 0 from topology_init()
but die walking node 1. I see that the NODE_DATA limits for memory
on node 1 were from 1d70000 to 3a00000. But when we get into
register_mem_sect_under_node() we have rounded the start pfn down to
1d00000 ... and we panic processing that range (which is in a hole in e820).

We seem to die here:

        for (pfn = sect_start_pfn; pfn <= sect_end_pfn; pfn++) {
                int page_nid;

                page_nid = get_nid_for_pfn(pfn);
