It looks like we never answered my question from V3, i.e. should we change the 
default mode in the post-parse callback if NUMA or CPU features are defined 
within <cpu>?

It sure feels like such configuration tweaks and error checks should be handled 
in the parsing phase, similar to qemuDomainDefVcpusPostParse() and 
qemuDomainDefCPUPostParse() in the qemu driver. I think danpb is vaguely 
familiar with this series and can help answer that question. Daniel, do you have 
an opinion? Or a general comment about guidelines for checking/tweaking config 
in parse phase vs domain start phase?

Regards,
Jim
