Sure this patch looks obvious, but please give me a changelog that proves
you've thought about it thoroughly.

For example is it OK to use for_each_node() at this point in boot? Is there any
historical reason why we did it with a hard coded loop? If so what has changed.
What systems have you tested on? etc. etc.

cheers
