They are some interesting ideas.
However, I am not sure a library should try to be so smart silently.
It needs more feedback to decide wether it can be the default behaviour
or an option.

Please send coremask and hugepage mapping as separate patches as they
are totally different and may be integrated separately.

Thanks
