My googling and codesearch attempts didn't reveal any users of
NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT.  But then, it didn't find the usage in the numactl
suite either.

It would be good if we could find some way to remove this code (and any
other code!).  If that causes a bit of pain for users of the test suite
(presumably a small number of technically able people) then that seems
acceptable to me - we end up with a better kernel.
