[RFC] NUMA : could we introduce virt_to_nid() ?

Hi Andi

Checking Christoph quicklist implementation, I found the same cache miss in free() than SLAB has.

/* common implementation *
int virt_to_nid(const void *addr)
{
struct page *page = virt_to_page(addr);
return page_to_nid(page);
}

On some platforms (x86_64 for example), could we have a better implementation, not accessing struct page, but using phys_to_nid() ?

Thank you
