From: Jan Beulich on
.... i.e. when the hole between two regions isn't occupied by memory on
another node. This reduces the memory->node table size, thus reducing
cache footprint of lookups, which got increased significantly some
time ago, and things go back to how they were before that change on
the systems I looked at.
