For the record, I am debugging this offline and of course this is again
libnuma's fault. The old nodemask API seems to be broken on machines
with sparse node ids. And the actual behavior in such cases changed in
2.0.6 (Paul has 2.0.3, I have 2.0.8). I think I will disable most
nodemask tests when node ids are sparse.
I am also complaining on the numa devel list about their crappy
interface and doc... If they confirm that the nodemask API is totally
deprecated, I'll mark our nodemask helpers as deprecated and we'll
remove them as soon as possible. Way too much time wasted already.
