SubjectRe: [2.6.24 regression][BUGFIX] numactl --interleave=all doesn't works on memoryless node.
Hi Lee-san

Unfortunately, 2.6.24-mm1 can't boot on fujitsu machine.
(hmm, origin.patch cause regression to pci initialization ;-)

instead, I tested 2.6.24 + your patch.
it seem work good :)

Tested-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>

and, I have a bit comment.

was_empty argument is a bit ugly.
Could we unify mpol_check_policy and contextualize_policy?
mpol_check_policy only called from contextualize_policy.

Could we N_POSSIBLE check?

I attached the patch for my idea explain.
on my test environment, your patch and mine works good both.
