No it's not much configurable. The works are scheduled on tasks that are
node affine and you can't change that for system_unbound_wq. Only WQ_SYSFS
workqueues can be overriden on their no_numa property but even there that's
after the boot and most of the usermodehelper load goes on boot.

Well then lets have at least one thread per NUMA node so that NUMA
affinity works?
