+ Though it is believed to be innocuous, it isn't obviously so, and will
+ likely scare users.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ Boot wily on an arm64 system and look for the above trace in dmesg.
+
+ [Regression Risk]
+ The NUMA patches for arm64 were merged in in preparation for a hardware
enablement project that was later postponed. I'm very confident that there are
no systems out there that can boot wily's kernel and benefit from these patches.
