Thanks for the answer anyway, better late than never.

That's right. What does lscpu say? Are the NUMA nodes non-contiguous like this?:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-63
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 64-127
NUMA node252 CPU(s):
NUMA node253 CPU(s):
NUMA node254 CPU(s):
NUMA node255 CPU(s):

I asked the previous question so that we know the actual numa node number of the second CPU. If it's 8, then sysctl does some renumeration and we can't use it.
Bruce, maybe we should just parse lscpu output? That introduces a dependency, but that may not be such a big deal as lscpu is pretty common.
