Memory banks may belong to interleaving nodes. In the example below an x86
machine has 16 Gbytes of RAM in 4 memory banks, even banks belong to node 0
and odd banks belong to node 1::
0 4G 8G 12G 16G

| node 0 | | node 1 | | node 0 | | node 1 |

0 16M 4G

| DMA | DMA32 | | NORMAL | | NORMAL | | NORMAL |
+-----+-------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
In this case node 0 will span from 0 to 12 Gbytes and node 1 will span from
4 to 16 Gbytes.
