Thanks, I'll re-word the commit message then. Meanwhile, I was playing
around with this over the weekend and it behaves really weird.

I decided not to use debugger to make sure nothing's caused any
additional side effects and added some debug printf's.

Specifically, I've added logging to all the virNumaGetMaxNode()
implementations, and I've also added some logging to virNumaNodeIsAvailable().

I fail to understand the result. Specifically, it produces the following
output:

virNumaGetMaxNode: mocked, maxnodesNum = 7
virNumaGetMaxNode() = -1
virNumaGetMaxNode: mocked, maxnodesNum = 7
virNumaGetMaxNode() = -1
virNumaGetMaxNode: mocked, maxnodesNum = 7
virNumaGetMaxNode() = -1
virNumaGetMaxNode: mocked, maxnodesNum = 7
virNumaGetMaxNode() = -1
virNumaGetMaxNode: mocked, maxnodesNum = 7
virNumaGetMaxNode() = -1
virNumaGetMaxNode: mocked, maxnodesNum = 7
virNumaNodeIsAvailable: max_node = -1

(I've added a look like
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
            printf("virNumaGetMaxNode() = %d\n", virNumaGetMaxNode());

So... it is calling the mocked version, but uses -1 as a result. When I
change the real implementation to return e.g. 42 instead of -1, I get
42, but I don't see its logging.

It doesn't change when I add ATTRIBUTE_NOINLINE for virNumaGetMaxNode.
I'm wondering I miss something obvious or maybe my system is screwed?

Debug ideas appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll try to better understand how
LD_PRELOAD works as well as objdump's asm format, but that might take a
while...
