Checked, and nodemask parameter for this syscall has been a pointer
since v2.6.7 (near as I can tell).

It is currently documented as such.

	unsigned long nodemask[(.maxnode + ULONG_WIDTH - 1) / ULONG_WIDTH],

It is an array parameter, and array parameters are adjusted to pointers.


Have a lovely day!
