In Fedora 10, they introduced  libnuma 2.x, whereas all previous Fedora
had 1.x.

libnuma 2.x changed API decl for various functions. libvirt is written
against 1.x API, so we need to declare NUMA_VERSION1_COMPATIBILITY to
make sure our header import on 2.x systems, uses the 1.x APIs. The
black magic in the header, actually compiles our 1.x usage into calls
to the 2.x APIs.   The 1.x ABIs still existed as versioned symbols 
so if you compiled against 1.x, you can still run against 2.x. Fun
isn't it :-)
