Nack, we don't need to add yet another nodemask because you're having 
trouble finding a new name for a cpu_nodes_parsed.  It would be perfectly 
acceptable to rename nodes_parsed to mem_nodes and cpu_nodes_parsed to 
no_mem_nodes, which are even shorter.  But we definitely don't need 
another nodemask and I think we're convoluting the bug fix here way too 
much.  Regardless of the future nomenclature, let's please merge my patch 
to fix the outstanding kernel issue and then propose an alternative naming 
scheme later.
