Yes.  I had planned to ping you and Mel, as I hadn't heard back from you
about the combined interfaces.  I think they mesh fairly well, and the
per node attributes have the, perhaps desirable, property of ignoring
any current task mempolicy.  But, I know that some folks don't like a
proliferation of ways to do something.  I'll package up the series [I
need to update the Documentation for the per node attributes] and send
it out as soon as I can get to it.  This week, I'm pretty sure.
