Ok, guys, I've pulled this and pushed out. There were some conflicts
with both the VM changes and with the scheduler tree, but they were
pretty small and looked simple, so I fixed them up and hope they all
work.

Has anybody tested the impact on single-node systems? If distros
enable this by default (and it does have 'default y', which is a big
no-no for new features - I undid that part) then there will be tons of
people running this without actually having multiple sockets. Does it
gracefully avoid pointless overheads for this case?

Anyway, hopefully we'll have a more real numa balancing for 3.9, and
this is still considered a reasonable base for that work.
