I still think we need a v5, containing my various improvements (which
I'll post as v4), and addressing these additional concerns:

Is tools/virsh.c allowed to directly use conf/domain_conf.h, or must we
move the string conversion of numa mode into src/util?

Where do we guarantee that the user cannot specify more cpus than the
host has available?  In other words, 'virsh numatune dom --nodeset 0-15'
should probably fail on a host that doesn't have 16 processors.

What about my concern that altering the nodeset of a running domain
needs to affect dumpxml for that domain?

Also, my testing revealed that the patch series is buggy, but I haven't
yet debugged why (probably something wrong with the manual rpc code)

# tools/virsh numatune dom
error: Unable to get numa parameters
error: Unable to encode message payload
