Well apparently I lied?  I don't think it's getting cleared in node_states.
I'm doing:

static void guarantee_online_mems(const struct cpuset *cs, nodemask_t *pmask)
{
        int nid=0;
        printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: at top, node %d is %d\n",
                __FUNCTION__, nid, node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY));
        while (cs && !nodes_intersects(cs->mems_allowed,
                                        node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY])) {
                printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: in loop\n", __FUNCTION__);
                cs = cs->parent;
        }
        if (cs) {
                printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: cs was true\n", __FUNCTION__);
                nodes_and(*pmask, cs->mems_allowed,
                                        node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]);
        }
        else
        {
                printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: cs was false\n", __FUNCTION__);
                *pmask = node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY];
        }
        printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: at bottom, node %d is %d\n",
                __FUNCTION__, nid, node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY));
        printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: at bottom, in pmask node %d is %d\n",
                __FUNCTION__, nid, node_isset(nid, *pmask));
        BUG_ON(!nodes_intersects(*pmask, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]));
}

and getting:

guarantee_online_mems: in loop
guarantee_online_mems: cs was false
guarantee_online_mems: at bottom, node 0 is 1
guarantee_online_mems: at bottom, in pmask node 0 is 0


So I'm guess that
	*pmask = node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY];
isn't doing what it was intended to do?  That or I've got node_state()
wrong...
