Yeah, the fake numa thing calls emu_setup_memblk() and that doesn't
set numa_nodes_parsed to the number of fake numa nodes. And since with
that "cleanup" which opened more work than it saved (btw, this is the
last time I'm looking at crap like that) we got rid of the "enlarging"
of the node mask to the actual nodes count and *that* blows up with
numa_nodes_parsed having only node 0 in there.

Long story short, something as trivial as this helps here:
