What about sys_mbind_home_node so the name is better aligned with mbind,
since both operate on vma policy?  The syscall might or might not be
extended to task memory policy, but vma policy is what we're using this
for today.
I used the name set_mempolicy_home_node, because we are setting the home
for a memory policy. I find the term mbind confusing. 
Fair enough.  Forgive me for starting in on naming :-)
