[libvirt] [RFC PATCH 0/3] Guest NUMA topology support - v0

[Bharata B Rao]

Hi,

I discussed the possibilities of adding NUMA topology XML specification
support for guests here some time back. Since my latest proposal
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt/44626)
didn't get any response, I am posting a prototype implementation
that supports specifying NUMA topology for QEMU guests.

- The implementation is based on the last proposal I listed above.
- The implementation is for QEMU only.
- The patchset has gone through extremely light testing and I have
  just tested booting a 2 socket 2 core 2 thread QEMU guest.
- I haven't really bothered to cover all the corner cases and haven't
  run libvirt tests after this patchset. For eg, there is no code
  to validate if the CPU combination specified by <topology> and
  <numa> match with each other. I plan to cover all these after we
  freeze the specification itself.

Regards,
Bharata.
