JFYI, the numbers in the brackets aren't NUMA node numbers but percpu
allocation group numbers and they're not split according to nodes but
percpu allocation units.  In both cases, there are two units each
serving 0-3 and 4-7.  In the above case, because it wasn't being fed
the correct NUMA information, both got assigned to the same group.  In
the latter, they got assigned to different ones but even then if the
group numbers match NUMA node numbers, that's just a coincidence.

Thanks.
