Should we also check for MAX_NUMNODES?

It's not an Option anymore, so we may want to drop 'optionally'. Also please
leave an empty line here.

Please also explain what happens when the NumaNode changes between calls to
realloc_node().
Does it have to remain the same NumaNode? Do we need a safety requirement for
that?
(Btw. no need to send a new version right away, leave a few days for people to
catch up and comment on this one or the other patches before resending.)
