firstNumaTouch=false, it still fails on the first call.

I assume you meant actually keeping firstNumaTouch=true - but it still
fails on the first call.

The memory touching is done for the first call in each backend, but
reconnecting doesn't reset it, I have to restart PG.

I'm testing on i386 in a chroot on a amd64 kernel. (same for x32)
armel and armhf are also 32-bit chroots on a arm64 host.

Maybe this is a kernel bug.
