Is this the kmem_cache_alloc_node() stuff?  If so, when I use that
for page table allocations, running AIM7 on a 32 processor machine
consistently live-locks the system.  Everybody is waiting inside
kmem_cache_alloc_node() cachep->spinlock.

Is there a different patch I should be looking for?

Thanks,
Robin
