My only i386 is my laptop--my "window to the world"--and I tend not to run experimental/development kernels on it. [I know, such little faith :-(]. I suppose I could reconfigure an X86_64 system in the lab with hardware interleaved memory and try a 32-bit kernel there.

Those are related to the memoryless node patches in the sense that they touch some of the same lines in mempolicy.c. However, IMO, those patches shouldn't gate the memoryless node series once the i386 issues are resolved.
