I think David said something about this during last round (going
fetchin'-cuttin'-pastin' it):

"
    obj-$(CONFIG_NUMA) += vnuma.o

    Then you can remove the #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA from xen/vnuma.c
"

This is a super-minor thing, but I wouldn't say "in this version". It
makes people think that there will be a later version where that will be
supported, which we don't know. :-)

This is a lot better... Thanks! :-)
