While I think it's very likely that the common case will be to disable
NUMA balancing for specific processes,
prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING,PR_SET_NUMA_BALANCING,1) should still be
meaningful.
I'm still a bit confused.
If we really want to enable/disable numa_balancing for all processes,
but some of them override the global numa_balancing using prctl, what
should we do?
Do we iterate through these processes to enable/disable them individually?
