Thanks for your reminder. It seems like I've fallen behind the world by months.
I will rebase on it later if this patch is still needed.

Have I missed something, at least the on master tree, nd->preferred only include the
nearest ones(by specific algorithms), so in above numa topology, nd->preferred of
node0 is node2 only. node0 distance to node3 is 25 greater than to node2(20).

So target_nid cannot be node3 IIUC.

(I cooked this patches weeks ago, maybe something has changed, i will also take a deep look later.)
