Ahh. Yes these allow to simplify things somewhat and allow more
flexiblity when specifying nodelists for interleave. Wish there was
something similar for zonelists. Thanks.

Umm.. that is what we do all day but maybe you could have a look at my
initial patch which actually included a description of the syntax which
is a straighforward representation of the possible variations on a memory
policy.
Diff to use bitmap_scnlistprintf and bitmap_parselist.
