Sure, I know. That's why I sent this 'kind-of-ping' :-)

Of course. Let's hear maintainers. FWIW, I vote for it. As you already
say in the cover letter of the series, the current implementation in
both libxc and libxl is a pain to use and maintain, and set a very ba
example for people wanting to do similar things.

In fact, it was me that, as one of my first contributions to Xen,
(re)implemented libxl_get_numainfo(), out of inspiration from
libxl_get_cpu_topology()! :-/

So, to summarize my view, let's switch the existing to yours ASAP.
Ian-s? :-)

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
