There is nothing like this in Xen. I went for this #define based
approach because that is right what the QEMU driver does for NUMA
parameters and, also, what libxl driver does for scheduler parameters.

I therefore think that this could be considered safe, from that point of
view. What could happen is that more NUMA (and, perhaps, even more
scheduler) parameters can pop up in the future. However, given libxl
commitment for API stability, this will be advertised with something
like LIBXL_HAVE_THIS_NEW_NUMA_PARAM symbol.

That means we, as soon as we wan to support it, will end up with
something like:

#ifdef LIBXL_HAVE_THIS_NEW_NUMA_PARAM
# define LIBXL_NUMA_NPARAM 3
#else
# define LIBXL_NUMA_NPARAM 2
#endif

Is that reasonable?

Ok, done.

Does it? According to my editor here, if I put it in just one line that
ends at 82. :-(

I'm therefore changing it in 

            rc = libxl_domain_get_nodeaffinity(priv->ctx,
                                               vm->def->id,
                                               &nodemap);

As you mentioned in another e-mail.

Sure.

Thanks and Regards,
