I've been testing wider workloads and here's two more small and obvious patches rounding up numa/core behavior around the edges. The NUMA code should now be pretty unintrusive to all but the long-running, memory-intense workloads where it's expected to make a (positive) difference. Short-run workloads like kbuild or hackbench don't trigger the NUMA code now. The limits can be reconsidered later on, iteratively - the goal now is to not regress.
