The only way to ensure that would be to set a strict mempolicy.
But I'm not sure that's a good idea -- after all you don't want
to fail an allocation in this case.
But pfn_to_nid on the object like proposed by Eric should work anyways.
But I'm not sure the tables used for that will be more often cache hot
than the slab.
