using system default policy and only cgroups is used to restrict the
memory nodes, and it requires setting mode to 'restrictive' in ``memnode``
elements. Attribute ``nodeset`` specifies the NUMA nodes, using the same
elements (see quirk below). This exists solely for the purpose of being able
to request movement of such memory for a running domain using ``virsh
numatune`` or ``virDomainSetNumaParameters` and is not guaranteed to happen.
Attribute ``nodeset`` specifies the NUMA nodes, using the same
syntax as attribute ``cpuset`` of element ``vcpu``. Attribute ``placement`` (

addresses guest NUMA node for which the settings are applied. Attributes
``mode`` and ``nodeset`` have the same meaning and syntax as in ``memory``
element. This setting is not compatible with automatic placement.
Note that for ``memnode`` this will only guide the memory access for the vCPU
threads or similar mechanism and is very hypervisor-specific. This does not
guarantee the placement of the node's memory allocation. For proper
restriction other means should be used (e.g. different mode, preallocated
hugepages).
