I don't think it's particularly complex, since we already have a
distance matrix for numa nodes:

available: 2 nodes (0-1)
... snip ...
node distances:
node   0   1
  0:  10  21
  1:  21  10

This would follow the same thing, just adjustable for bandwidth.

I personally find the (src,dst) matrix very important for flexibility.

But if there is particular pushback against it, having a one dimensional
array is better than not having it, so I will take what I can get.

Someone's got to :]
