Yes, I know this slides, and I've also looked at most of the code
they're referring to. That's all very interesting and it's well
worthwhile to keep that in mind for future steps in the field of NUMA
support. In particular, virtual topology awareness of the guest is
something really important to have, and I'll be happy to
discuss/work/contribute/help on it in the near future.

However, I'm still not sure I see how that ("guest NUMA") and live
migration should affect (either now or during 4.3 dev cycle) the initial
placement of a domain... That's what I was asking.


Thanks and Regards,
Dario
