Even if that would be true and overhead memory could float in NUMA nodes it generally doesn't prevent us from running into OOM troubles. No matter where (in which NUMA node) the overhead memory gets allocated, it is not included in available memory calculation for that NUMA node when provisioning new instance and thus can cause OOM (once the guest operating system of the newly provisioned instance actually starts allocating memory which can only be allocated from its assigned NUMA node).
