I already noted this far back in the thread Christoph, but it is worth
repeating.  And it carries more weight when you, a Linux Kernel dev,
state this, than when I do.  So thanks for adding your input. :)

Is this only an issue with multi-chassis cabled NUMA systems such as
Altix 4000/UV and the (discontinued) IBM x86 NUMA systems (x440/445)
with their relatively low direct node-node bandwidth, or is this also of
concern with single chassis systems with relatively much higher
node-node bandwidth, such as the AMD Opteron systems, specifically the
newer G34, which have node-node bandwidth of 19.2GB/s bidirectional?
