Hmm, since we don't have to enable SYSFS for NUMA, how about
make a new Kconfig for drivers/base/node.c? I.e., CONFIG_NUMA_SYSFS,
like patch below.


I dont quite understand this patch, nor the idea behind it.

You can have a NUMA kernel (for appropriate percpu locality or whatever
kernel data), and yet user land processes unable to use numactl if SYSFS
is not enabled. I dont see a problem.


Both Pekka and Mel pointed out that it makes sense to have NUMA kernel
without SYSFS, this means sysfs interface is not a must for NUMA kernel.
Thus, I think it makes sense to separate the numa sysfs code out.
