Rui and I took a look at the default kernel config, it seems that CONFIG_NUMA is
enabled on laptops on some distributions. Maybe a runtime detecting flag indicating
that whether this system has enabled NUMA (static key eg) would be an option too, so as
not to enable node_demotion[] on non-NUMA laptops/desktops.
