Even in NUMA you have classes of homogenous memory, and within a single class all pages are the same. How to handle several classes of such memory is an interesting problem, and would certainly have to be handled by privileged system code to prevent DoS attacks or unfair treatment. But it is orthogonal to the problems of how to manage sharing the memory resources within a uniform memory. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
