Setting stack NUMA policy?

I'm trying to arrange for a process to have a different memory policy
on its stack as compared to everything else (e.g. mapped libraries).
Before I start looking for kludges, is there any clean way to do this?

So far, the best I can come up with is to either parse /proc/self/maps
on startup or to deduce the stack range from the stack pointer and
then call mbind. Then, for added fun, I'll need to hook mmap so that
I can mbind MAP_STACK vmas that are created for threads.

This is awful. Is there something better?

(What I really want is a separate policy for MAP_SHARED vs MAP_PRIVATE.)
