... now as Craig has send a ping at least I've read this thread.

For the libnuma support in top it could be an option to make this
not only a build/compile option but also a runtime option. OK this
may required some magic like to declare the functions numa_max_node()
and numa_node_of_cpu() as weak symbols and load the libnuma.so.1 on
demand if available but this may at least solve the problem that
most desktop users are not interested in NUMA support.
