Hugh, I didn't find the next function, as I can't find any words that 
matched "do_huge_pmd_numa_page".
is there any other methods? also I tried to use kdump to dump vmcore 
file, but unluckily kdump didn't
work well, if you think it useful to dump vmcore file, I can try it 
again and provide more info.

Thanks,
Zhouping
