Users will want to set these moveable zones along node boundaries (the whole purpose is to be able to remove a node by making sure the kernel won't allocate anything tricky in it, right?) So raw addresses are usable ... but to get them right the user will have to go parse the SRAT table manually to come up with the addresses. Any time you make the user go off and do some tedious calculation that the computer should have done for them is user-abuse.
