I noticed the FreeBSD12 GENERIC kernel has an option regarding NUMA and
thought I should understand the impact to my systems and how I can
monitor the system for deviation (good or bad).  (Its been a very long
time since I've asked for help, but this isn't covered in my FreeBSD
Design book - yes, paper! ;)
