Currently 'numa_maps' gives a list of numa nodes, memory is allocated per
VMA.
Ex. we get something like from numa_maps.

04000  N0=1,N2=2 kernelpagesize_KB=4

First is the start address of a VMA. This VMA could be much larger then
3 4k pages.
It does not say which address in the VMA has the pages mapped.
