On RHEL 5, I'm getting compilation failures:

qemu/qemu_process.c: In function 'qemuProcessInitNumaMemoryPolicy':
qemu/qemu_process.c:1211: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
...
qemu/qemu_process.c:1260: warning: passing argument 1 of
'numa_set_membind' from incompatible pointer type

Where is 'struct bitmask' defined?  It's not in libvirt, so it is
probably a struct leaked by a newer NUMA header, but not available with
older NUMA headers (and if so, it's not very namespace safe, is it).

On RHEL 5, 'man numa_set_membind' shows me:

void numa_set_membind(nodemask_t *nodemask);

On Fedora 14, numa.h has:

typedef struct {
        unsigned long n[NUMA_NUM_NODES/(sizeof(unsigned long)*8)];
} nodemask_t;

struct bitmask {
        unsigned long size; /* number of bits in the map */
        unsigned long *maskp;
};


Sounds like we need to use the various nodemask_* functions (in the
older numa.h, they directly operate on nodemask_t; in the newer numa.h,
they are compatibility wrappers that convert to the newer struct bitmask).
