Thanks,

Did migrate_pages make it into Linus' tree yet? I don't see it there yet. 

I think the name of the command is a bit unintuitive - how 
about calling it changenodemem or movenodemem ? (better suggestions 
welcome) 

At least some words in the manpage what happens when you
specify multiple nodes in from/to might be a good idea.

|| end == argv[1]

I can only warn you of putting your name visibly into the manpages - 
it will give you a constant stream of mails from confused users for many years ;-)

Refer to taskset too? (or alternatively add a option to set the CPU
affinity using cpus or nodes too - taskset has the disadvantage that you cannot 
specify nodes so a user would need to know the cpu<->node mapping)
