I may be misunderstanding this patch and there's no help because there's 
no changelog.

The intention seems to be that _node_numa_mem_[X] for a node X will return 
a node Y with memory that has the nearest distance?  In other words, 
caching the value returned by local_memory_node(X)?

That doesn't seem to be what it's doing since numa_node_id() is the node 
of the cpu that current is running on so this ends up getting initialized 
to whatever local_memory_node(cpu_to_node(cpu)) is for the last bit set in 
cpu_possible_mask.
