/*
 * What follows are helpers for generating all the k-combinations
 * without repetitions of a set S with n elements in it. Formally
 * speaking, they are subsets of k distinct elements of S and, if
 * S is n elements big, the number of k-combinations is equal to the
 * binomial coefficient C(n k)=n!/(k! * (n - k)!).
 *
 * The various subset are generated one after the other by calling
 * comb_init() first, and, after that, comb_next()
 * C(n k)-1 times. An iterator is used to store the current status
 * of the whole generation operation (i.e., basically, the last
 * combination that has been generated). As soon as all combinations
 * have been generated, comb_next() will start returning 0 instead of
 * 1. The same instance of the iterator and the same values for
 * n and k _must_ be used for each call (if that doesn't happen, the
 * result is unspecified).
 *
 * The algorithm is a well known one (see, for example, D. Knuth's "The
 * Art of Computer Programming - Volume 4, Fascicle 3" and it produces
 * the combinations in such a way that they (well, more precisely, their
 * indexes it the array/map representing the set) come with lexicographic
 * ordering.
 *
 * For example, with n = 5 and k = 3, calling comb_init()
 * will generate { 0, 1, 2 }, while subsequent valid calls to
 * comb_next() will produce the following:
 * { { 0, 1, 3 }, { 0, 1, 4 },
 *   { 0, 2, 3 }, { 0, 2, 4 }, { 0, 3, 4 },
 *   { 1, 2, 3 }, { 1, 2, 4 }, { 1, 3, 4 },
 *   { 2, 3, 4 } }
 *
 * This is used by the automatic NUMA placement logic below.
