ifdefery is just ugly as hell. One way to get rid of that would be to
provide a mpol_is_preferred_many() wrapper and hide the CONFIG_NUMA in
mempolicy.h. I haven't checked but this might help to remove some other
ifdefery as well.

I especially dislike the label hidden in the ifdef. You can get rid of
that by checking the page for NULL.
