This is UP right? Any more details on this one? Does ARM have
earlyprintk?

Tejun also has some patches that make the percpu allocator work on UP so
that we do not need the hack (you must have the hack which is commit
c23e5ad729ac43f5e2fbc080f94cf61f07b4d45f as well to make UP work right!).

I am not sure if they are already in -next though.
