Yes, makes sense to centralize that check internal to
add_memory_resource(). However, instead of a failure let's just pick
the next "closest" possible node with a firmware-workaround
taint-warning to let the admin know when their added memory has an
awkward numa node, but otherwise let the memory come online.
