The only reasonable explanation I can imagine for the weird stuff
going on with "numa01_inverse" is that maybe it was compiled without
-DHARD_BIND? I forgot to specify -DINVERSE_BIND is a noop unless
-DHARD_BIND is specified too at the same time. -DINVERSE_BIND alone
results in the default build without -D parameters.

Now AutoNUMA has a bug and is real inverse bind too, I need to fix that.

In the meantime this is possible:

echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/autonuma/enabled
run numa01_inverse
echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/autonuma/enabled
