Jack, I think the interesting part would be: If you assign the CPUs
to the next nearby node with memory. Do you see any unacceptable performance
problems from that?

I'm sure the problem could be solved, but it would be quite some work,
and that would be only worth spending if it's actually a significant
benefit.
