OK... I think I'm going to write this up as unconfirmed... which means the only known problem that was not addressed in rc3 is the 32-bit NUMA issue, which we have a bug for.

Linus: does this address your concerns for now, or do you still want us to revert?

the 32 bit numa problem is one edge case (node0 doesn't have memory installed), 
and the problem has been there for a while before we introduce NO_BOOTMEM support.

Thanks
