Oh! interesting.. cpuless nodes :) I think we need to fix this in the
longer run and distribute cpus between fake numa nodes of a real node
using some acceptable heuristic.

True. Presently this is broken on both x86 and ppc systems. It would be
interesting to find a way to map, for example, 4 cpus to >4 number of
fake nodes created from a single real numa node!

Since I'm pretty sure there could be CPU less nodes just like there
could be memory-less nodes, it would be good if fake numa could
simulate them too :-)
