Ok, I thought you were referring to an architectural detail. Well, actually NUMA nodes and embedded memory should just both use a MEM object, instead of duplicating all kinds of objects. We won't duplicate such things for the MIC, will we? IIRC the problems I had with using NODE was things like: make sure total_memory doesn't count it, having a "name" to distinguish "shared" and "global", avoid letting it enter the "levels". But all of these could just be fixed by not browsing inside PCI devices, which we might already be doing, actually. Samuel
