This change has broken the compile on Fedora 9 and earlier where the
numa_all_cpus_ptr symbol does not exist. So it needs to have a test
in configure.ac added, and if not present, go with our original code
of a fixed mask size. Fortunately on Fedora 9's libnuma, they don't
have the annoying mask size checks - that's a new Fedora 10 thing

I also just noticed that its only touching the size param passed into
the numa_node_to_cpus, but not the actual size that's allocated for the
array. This is fairly harmless....until someone does a kernel build
with NR_CPUS > 4096
