Good point, I will try to look into that.

I'm aware of the overlap and we should definitely merge these two into a
single library later on.

As far as I can tell the library I wrote covers the case of memory-less
nodes, these should the the ones that does not have the membind flag set
in the default mask that is returned by numa_get_membind().

We should probably add API for specifying minimal amount of free memory
per node as well, which would fix the second problem. We may add
min_free parameter to the tst_get_nodemap() function that would be used
if passed the TST_NUMA_MEM flag.
