 A typical model for making such an allocation is to obtain the node id of the
 node to which the "current CPU" is attached using one of the kernel's

 may revert to its own fallback path.  The slab kernel memory allocator is an
 example of this.  Or, the subsystem may choose to disable or not to enable
