SubjectRe: ppc: RECLAIM_DISTANCE 10?

The point is that it's impossible to tell how distant they are from one
NUMA domain to the next NUMA domain.

Ppc doesn't want to allocate in a different NUMA domain unless required,
the latency of a remote access is too high. Everything that isn't in the
same domain has a distance >10 and is setup as 2^(domain hops) * 10. We
don't have the ability like with a SLIT to define remote nodes to have
local latency vs remote or costly latency so the safe setting is a
RECLAIM_DISTANCE of 10.
