Oh, I just realized that the drivers usually refill several RX
packet-pages at once, this means that this is called N times, meaning
during a NUMA change this will result in N * 65 pages returned.

I do think we want NUMA_NO_NODE to mean preferred locality. My code
allow the page to come from a remote NUMA node, but once it is returned
via the ptr_ring, we return pages not belonging to the local NUMA node
(determined by the CPU processing RX packets from the drivers RX-ring).
