hugepage corner cases???

Hey all,

I am a Linux newbie.

I read about the huge page corner cases i.e problems may occur on
using hueg pages in Linux , the linux of the page is:
http://linux-mm.org/HugePageCornerCases

The first corner case is given as

-NUMA-aware allocation - don't want all the memory accesses going
through a common controller.

Can anyone please specify what the statement means as I didn't clearly
get its meaning? And what can be a possible solution for it?
