David's analysis on mempolicy with shmem seems to be right. set_policy
on virtual address range does seem to change the shared policy for the
inode irrespective of the mapping type.
Maybe having a way to set numa policy per-range in the inode would be
at par with what we can do today via mbind on virtual address ranges.
