[bug] aarch64 host no longer boots after 767507654c22 ("arch_numa: switch over to numa_memblks")

[Jan Stancek <jstancek@redhat.com>]

Hi,

I'm seeing a regression on Nvidia IGX system, which no longer boots.

bisect points at commit 767507654c22 ("arch_numa: switch over to numa_memblks").
It hangs very early, with 4k or 64k pages, with no kernel messages printed:

EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...
<hangs here>

Here's a log from successful boot with previous commit:
