yep. i am able to run it on a non-numa machine, but datop immediately crashes
due to some memory corruption issues:

it seems really an interesting topic worth more investigation. I wonder if
damon vaddr monitor should actually take vmas, or at least the types of
vmas into consideration while splitting.
Different vma types should be inherently different in hotness. for example,
if 1mb text and 1mb data are put in the same region, the monitored data
to reflect the hotness for the whole 2mb seems to be pointless at all.
