    Fix panic seen on some IBM and HP systems on 2.6.32-rc6:
    
     BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

    I put in a printk and commented out the set_dev_node()
    call when and got this output:
    
     quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x0
     quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x1
     quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x2
     quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x3
    
    I.e. the issue appears to be that the HW has set val to a valid
    value, however, the system is only configured for a single
    node -- 0, the others are offline.
    
    Check to see if the node is actually online before setting
    the numa node for an AMD northbridge in quirk_amd_nb_node().
