Hi,

sorry if I'm being dense - what is actually being protected against
here? The only thing I can think of is one process causing performance
degradation to another by moving it's memory further from it's cpu on a
NUMA machine.

Is there something more? (And is what I'm guessing even possible?)

I'm not arguing against this hook, just wondering whether there's
more to this than I see.

thanks,
-serge
