Quite a bit has changed w/r/t qemu_capabilities.{c,h}. Can you please
resync with the top of the tree and repost. Hopefully Pavel or Michal
will be able to take a look at the repost as well since they have more
recent NUMA and Hugepage experiences and that's where this series
starts... Also I understand why things are combined, but the first 3
patches don't seem to be related to vhost-user-gpu, so they should be a
separate series. Although I do understand why they're included due to
qemu_capabilities conflicts for one series or the other.
Since, all I was able to "easily" git am was patch 1, I'll provide a
couple of comments there...
