Hi, All

This series adopts Daniel's suggestion on v1, using libnuma but
not invoking numactl to set the NUMA policy. Add support for
"interleave" and "preferred" modes, except the "strict" mode
supported in v1.

The new XML is like:

<numatune>
  <memory model="interleave" nodeset="+0-4,8-12"/>
<numatune>

I persist in using the numactl nodeset syntax to represent
the "nodeset", as I think the purpose of adding NUMA tuning
support is to provide the use for NUMA users, keeping the
syntax same as numactl will make them feel better.

Regards
Osier
