I'm surprised this one. If arch code doesn't initialized N_NORMAL_MEMORY,
(or N_HIGH_MEMORY. N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY if CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n)
kswapd is created only at node0. wow.

The initialization must be necessary even if !NUMA, I think. ;-)
Probably we should have revisit all arch code when commit 9422ffba4a
(Memoryless nodes: No need for kswapd) was introduced, at least.

Thank you David. and I'm sad this multi level unforunate mismatch....
