I know for a fact that it does on x86 if you adjust CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT, 
I've booted kernels all the way back to 2.6.18 with 1K nodes.

I agree, I haven't been a fan of nodemask_scratch because I think its use

in the stack.  We've made sure that most of the mempolicy code does that 
where manipulating nodemasks is common in -mm.
