NUMA aware meminfo is one of the patches you have sitting
in your tree. I haven't got around to the NUMA-sim yet ...
maybe after Halloween when management stop asking me to
get other bits of code in before the freeze ;-)

Ah, but what does a balance_classzone do on a NUMA box?
Once you've finished rototilling the code you're looking
