Yup, got it, thanks!

Turning on debuginfo I get:

arch/x86/mm/numa_emulation.o: In function `split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform':
arch/x86/mm/numa_emulation.c:257: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

Previously we were dividing by a power-of-2 constant MAX_NUM_NODES,
and I believe in my builds the compiler was still deducing the
constant from the "nr_nodes = MAX_NUM_NODES" assignment. Fix inbound,
and I believe it will make it even clearer the difference between the
typical split and the new uniform split capability.
