Sorry, I forgot to reply in this thread.

Well, to me, this is a workaround.
Yes it will work, but what happens if tomorrow we have some hardware that
tells us that it has some numa node which 60000 index ?

I think we need a rework in eal to proerly handle this, like I said in this
mail :

Do you think you can look into this ?


Thanks.
