Yes, it has the same effect.

[    0.031849] Fallback order for Node 0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
[    0.031854] Fallback order for Node 1: 1 2 3 0 5 6 7 4
[    0.031857] Fallback order for Node 2: 2 3 0 1 6 7 4 5
[    0.031860] Fallback order for Node 3: 3 0 1 2 7 4 5 6
[    0.031864] Fallback order for Node 4: 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 3
[    0.031867] Fallback order for Node 5: 5 6 7 4 1 2 3 0
[    0.031870] Fallback order for Node 6: 6 7 4 5 2 3 0 1
[    0.031873] Fallback order for Node 7: 7 4 5 6 3 0 1 2

Do you prefer to set it to 1?
