Not too much. I have a start of this code. Just saving off the SRAT
locality information and using it during the add-event to decide which
node it goes to. But I went to test this weekend on a multi-node system
and the underlying __add_pages refused to add the pages. The underlying
sparsemem can do this (It works for PPC). I am still collecting the
debug info needed.
When I get the numa system sorted I will post patches.
