The reason why we present the idea in the way of a module is that
it's not suitable for all the situations, a module could be clean
and easier for deploy on demands.

Besides, we assume someone may prefer to have their own logical
on how to do the numa balancer, thus the module give them the way
to DIY easily.

But there are no insist on the style, once the logical is mature
enough, we can merge the idea into CFS, per-cgroup switch could be
enough :-P
