Currently your system likely would have died here, so ending up with a
reserve page temporarily on the wrong node is already an improvement.
I agree that the reserve pool should be per-node in the end, but I do
not think that serves the interest of simplifying the initial patch
set. How about a numa performance patch that adds onto the end of
Peter's series?
