The 'M' in NUMA stands for 'Memory' ... so the pedant in me says
that these I/O only nodes aren't NUMA nodes, perhaps NUIOA?

Is anyone doing anything to optimize access to such beasts? Binding
processes that are accessing such I/O devices to nearby nodes ...
sounds possible for NIC, and ugly for disks.
