TBH I'm not 100% sure it works correctly, I need to check it actually
touches the memory etc. It's possible it was discussed in one of the
earlier NUMA threads, and there are reasons to do a macro.

I also dislike the ifdefs because it adds subtle differences between the
"normal" code and the code tested with valgrind. So just having the
inlined function would be "nicer".
