The problem is how to convert them back for display. Match the zones in
groups of three to the zones in a node and then print out the node?

This has nothing to do with what is in my mind. The implementation is not
conforming to the documentation. This is from "man numa_set_bind":
numa_bind binds the current thread and its children to the
nodes specified in nodemask. They will only run on the
CPUs of the specified nodes and only able to allocate
memory from them. This function is equivalent to calling
numa_run_on_node_mask and numa_set_membind with the same
argument.
numa_set_membind sets the memory allocation mask. The
thread will only allocate memory from the nodes set in
nodemask. Passing an argument of numa_no_nodes or
numa_all_nodes turns off memory binding to specific nodes.
I do not get from this that memory is allocated always beginning with the
lowest node first but that the nodes from which allocations can be done is
restricted.
Who else would know details about memory policies?
