[PATCH 4/4] x86/platform/UV: Fix kernel panic running RHEL kdump kernel on UV

From: Mike Travis
Date: Mon Aug 01 2016 - 15:06:55 EST


The latest UV kernel support panics when RHEL7 kexec's the kdump kernel
to make a dumpfile. This patch fixes the problem by turning off all UV
support if NUMA is off.
