On the other hand this is creating a new NUMA semantic and I would like
to have something long term thatn let's throw something in now and care
about long term later. So I would really prefer to talk about long term
plans first and only care about implementation details later.

Yes, this is exactly what CDM was after. Have a zone which is not
reachable without explicit request AFAIR. So no, I do not think you are
too different, you just use a different terminology ;)
