I will leave this portion of the discussion to others.

I attempted to tackle some related concerns in a patch I sent lkml on
Aug 2, 2004 (exactly 1 year ago ;) under the Subject:

  subset zonelists and big numa friendly mempolicy MPOL_MBIND
  http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.0/0398.html

However this patch was unsuccessful, and I have not had any further
great insights to present here (if ever I had any ;).
