Andrew, Lee, what's the status of this patchset?  I don't see it, or the 
mempolicy support version, in mmotm-2009-08-12-13-55.

I think there are use cases for both the per-node hstate attributes and 
the mempolicy restricted hugepage allocation support and both features can 
co-exist in the kernel.

My particular interest is in the per-node hstate attributes because it 
allows job schedulers to preallocate hugepages in nodes attached to a 
cpuset with ease and allows node-targeted hugepage freeing for balanced 
allocations, which is a prerequisite for effective interleave 
optimizations.

I'd encourage the addition of the per-node hstate attributes to mmotm.  
Thanks Lee for implementing this feature.
