I always cringe when I hear that. It's really more than node/sparsemem use too many bits. If we get rid of 32bit NUMA that problem would be gone for the node at least because it could be moved into the mostly unused upper 32bit part on 64bit architectures.
The alternative would be to investigate again what it does to the kernel to just use different lookup methods for this.
