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.
