Prefaulting, generating an error when NUMA placement can't be 
satisified, hugetlbfs support, yeah, this very much seems like the right 
thing to do to me.

If you care enough about performance to do NUMA placement, you almost 
certainly are going to be doing hugetlbfs anyway so you get it 
practically for free.
