[libvirt] [RFC PATCH auto partition NUMA guest domains v1 1/2] domain: auto partition guests providing the host NUMA topology

From: Wim ten Have <wim.ten.have at oracle.com>

Add a mechanism to auto partition the host NUMA topology under the
guest domain.

This patch adds a framework to automatically partition the host into a
small vNUMA subset defined by the guest XML given <vcpu> and <memory>
description when <cpu mode="host-passthrough" check="numa".../> are in
effect and the hypervisor indicates per the host capabilities that a
physical NUMA topology is in effect.

The mechanism automatically renders the host capabilities provided NUMA
architecture, evenly balances the guest reserved vcpu and memory amongst
its vNUMA composed cells and have the cell allocated vcpus pinned towards
the host NUMA node physical cpusets.  This in such way that the host NUMA
topology is still in effect under the partitioned guest vNUMA domain.
