Not only and you should make it more explicit. It also tries to allocate
memmaps from the target numa node so this is a functional change. I
would prefer to have that in a separate patch in case we hit some weird
NUMA setups which would choke on memory less nodes and similar horrors.

I do not see any reason this shouldn't work. Btw. did you get to test
it?
Feel free to add

to both patches if you go and split.
