node_possible_map is a generic nodemask used throughout the kernel, but 
its handling is highly dependent on the arch.  This patch enables the 
support for x86, I'd encourage anyone else interested in other archs to 
look into adding the support for it as well (perhaps you can do it for 
powerpc?).
