Shudder. That can just be a desaster for NUMA. Both performance wise
and logic wise. One cpuset being low on memory should not affect
applications in other cpusets.

Do note that these are only PF_MEMALLOC allocations that will break the
cpuset. And one can argue that these are not application allocation but
system allocations.

This is global, global locking etc etc. On a large NUMA system this will 
cause significant delays. One fears that a livelock may result.
