Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a
user defined node migration table. A user may create a single target for
each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead
of simply reclaiming colder pages. A node with no target is a "terminal
node", so reclaim acts normally there. The migration target does not
fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts
there to limit complexity.
If you consider the migration path as a graph, cycles (loops) in the graph
are disallowed. This avoids wasting resources by constantly migrating
(A->B, B->A, A->B ...). The expectation is that cycles will never be
allowed.

+ negative value means this is a terminal node and memory can not
