FWIW, this should not impact Xen based on my understanding. The code
path in question should only be used when Nova is setup todo NUMA
pinning support, and that is not supported with Xen in OpenStack,
only KVM.  Did it actually cause failures for you, or are you simply
keeping track of all used APIs in Nova as a sanity check ?
