Hi!

Update:

* the whole setup/copy process for thread and proc domain policies is
slightly less dirty now;
* the phys layer now checks domain policy in this order:: thread ->
proc -> default; so now setting a proc policy will take action for all
threads in that proc that don't have a more specific domain policy;
* numactl is slightly less terrible to use.

Todo:

* for correctness, I should call the free methods on the domain policy
whenever a thread/proc is destroyed.
* .. write manpages for all of this.
* Test on AMD NUMA systems - who has one I can poke at?
