Each thread can modify its policy and that is used f.e. to control memory
allocations for syscalls. For example a thread wants to allocate kernel
metadata on a specific node then the policy would be set to that node.
Syscall is done and then the tasks resets the policy to the default.

mm wide memory policies are set at an VMA level and are associated with
addresses.

If they are associated with an address then you can use the address space
policy.
