[Note: looking at this patch in context, it appears that a few more updates are in order. E.g., "contextualization" of the specified nodelists based on mems_allowed when one allocates a tmpfs file and what happens when the mount option nodelist is disjoint from a task's mems_allowed. I'll test the behavior to make sure it matches my expectations and update the doc accordingly in a subsequent patch.]
