Thinking about it some more, if you're ok with it only being shared
libraries, you can do this:

for i in `seq 0 3`; do \
	cp --reflink=always /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 \
		/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6.numa$i; \
done

Reflinked files don't share page cache, so you can do this all in
userspace with no kernel changes.
