SubjectRe: [patch 3/3] x86_64: Node local pda take 2 -- node local pda allocation

That seems good, thank you !

Do you have an idea of the performance gain we could expect from this node
local pda allocation ?

Say a CPU is on Node 1, was a change in pda (allocated on Node 0) immediatly
mirrored on remote node or not ?
