Please disregard what I said earlier about the shift still being wrong. 
Looking at the dmesg more I see now that the # of pages are correctly 
reported (262144), however sysfs is still wrong.

I looked into this and see that sysfs is doing the double counting b/c 
it loops over the # of channels:

[  131.423949] DBG: csrow_size_show: i:0 nr_pages:262144 nr_channels:2
[  131.424112] DBG: csrow_size_show: i:1 nr_pages:524288 nr_channels:2

I verified this in init_csrows:
[   25.838958] DBG: init_csrows: channel_count:2

Since I don't know the details of the hardware here it's hard for me to 
suggest a fix, but it would seem that k8_early_channel_count() needs to 
be modified to only return 1 in this case?
