I'd highly recommend you use a later kernel since there has been a
lot of NUMA work since 2.4 days.

Checkout libnuma and the mempolicy system calls, as this can help you
control how your program uses your NUMA machine (e.g. set up mappings
to use interleaved memory, etc).  You probably also want to check out
hugetlb for your large mapping.  Unfortunately you will need to code a
lot of this support directly (at least until we get transparent
superpages, but that's for another day... :)
