Honestly, I do not have any idea. I've traced it down to
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date:   Tue Jan 11 15:35:48 2005 -0800

    [PATCH] x86_64: Fix ACPI SRAT NUMA parsing

    Fix fallout from the recent nodemask_t changes. The node ids assigned
    in the SRAT parser were off by one.

    I added a new first_unset_node() function to nodemask.h to allocate
    IDs sanely.

    Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
    Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

which doesn't really tell all that much. The historical baggage and a
long term behavior which is not really trivial to fix I suspect.
