Hum, that -1 handling is a bit surprizing, but apparently that's what
the Xen hypercall does. It's a bit convoluted as an API to get the full
free memory on a Node, maybe this should be separated as a different API
as people looking for this information may not think about looking at
NUMA special entry points. We don't have currently a simple API to
get the free memory on a Node, maybe that should be added.
Having the separate semantics is necessary because it seems like this
can be done in a single hypercall if the caller only needs to know the
total free memory.
