The help text for CONFIG_NUMA_EMU (which enables numa=fake=N) says:

        Enable NUMA emulation. A flat machine will be split
        into virtual nodes when booted with "numa=fake=N", where N is
        the
        number of nodes. This is only useful for debugging.

I don't think this is the option we want.

Ian.
