One cpu with two nodes?

Right two nodes. We may have a special case here of one cpu having to
manage remote memory. Alien cache freeing is likely screwed up in that
case because we cannot have the idea of one processor local to the node
doing the alien cache draining . We have to take the remote lock (no cpu
dedicate to that node).
Could you enable another processor and dedicate the other to the second
node?
Another idea would be to simply disable alien caches for that
configuration. I heard that Alok and Kiran have a patch that would do
this.
