If each memory controller has the same distance/latency, you (your firmware) don't need

If distance is problem, another node should be allocated.

It's useful from a memory bandwidth perspective to have allocations
spread across both memory controllers. Keeping a whole bunch of
Xeon cores fed needs all the bandwidth you can get.
Hmm. But physical address layout is not related to dual memory controller.
I think reliable range can be contiguous by firmware...
