Yes, my gut feeling looking at x86_64's numa.c is that it's going to 
need some heavier surgery than srat.c. I wouldn't worry so much about 
keeping that one close to the Linux original: if we end up pulling down 
more Linux memory bookkeeping code later then we can always go back and 
sync the file more closely. Keep it as clean as possible though, 
obviously (e.g., replacing whole functions is nicer than functions that 
are a hacky halfway house between Linux and Xen, etc).
