There used to be some like this (with some broken debug code), but they
got all fixed i believe to only allocate on real cpu hotplug. 

If not the right way is to fix them, not add DMI blacklists.

Beside when you enable debug code you probably don't care about 
a few MB too much.

No we just need to fix any percpu pigs (if there are really any left,
I did a couple of patches some time ago)
