[PATCH] - linux/arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c

The code in acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init that sorts the node_memblk
can overrun the array & clobber the memory that follows the end 
of the array. The error will be seen only on systems that fill
the node_memblk array and only if SAL doesnt sort the entries
in the SRAT.
