I've been testing what I believe is the accumulation of Mel's
original changes plus what Peter added via LKML and this thread
then this change. Don't think I missed any, but apologies if I
did.

Looking at it with Andrea's AutoNUMA tests (modified to automatically
generate power-of-two runs based on the available nodes -- i.e.
a 4 node system would run 2-node then 4-node, 8 node runs 2,4,8,
16 (if I had one) should do 2,4,8,16, etc.) it does look like
the "highest score" is being used -- but that's not really a
great thing for this type of private memory accessed by
multiple processes -- it looks to be all concentrating back
into a single node in the unbound cases for the runs beyond
2 nodes taking 1000+ seconds where the stock kernel takes 670
and the hard binding takes only 483. So it looks to me like the
weighting here is a bit too strong -- we don't want all the
tasks on the same node (more threads than available processors)
when there's an idle node reasonably close we can move some of
the memory to. Granted, this would be easier in cases with
really large DBs where the memory *and* cpu load are both
larger than the node resources....

Including a spreadsheet with the basic run / hard binding run
memory layout as things run and a run summary for comparison.
