Because the given node is an index to node_states[N_ONLINE] bitmap. I do
not think we do range checking there.

But you do allow to set the home node also for other policies and that
means that a default MPOL_INTERLEAVE would be different from the one
with home_node set up even though they behave exactly the same.
