Fixes related to processing of qemu's -numa option
The -numa option to qemu is used to create [fake] numa nodes and expose them to the guest OS instance. There are a couple of issues with the -numa option: a) Max VCPU's that can be specified for a guest while using the qemu's -numa option is 64. Due to a typecasting issue when the number of VCPUs is > 32 the VCPUs don't show up under the specified [fake] numa nodes. b) KVM currently has support for 160VCPUs per guest. The qemu's -numa option has only support for upto 64VCPUs per guest. This patch addresses these two issues. Below are examples of (a) and (b) a) >32 VCPUs are specified with the -numa option: /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -enable-kvm \ 71:01:01 \ -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \ -vnc :4 ...
