As noted by Erik Skultety, we use the same XML schema to report
existing devices and to define new devices. However, some schema
elements are "read-only". In other words, they are used to report
information from the node device driver and cannot be used to define a
new device. Note these in the documentation.

We're not mentioning that we're replicating QEMU behavior on purpose.
First because QEMU will one day, maybe, change the behavior and
start to refuse incomplete NUMA setups, and then our documentation
is now deprecated. Second, auto filling the CPUs in the first
cell will work regardless of QEMU changes in the future.
The idea is to encourage the user to provide a complete NUMA CPU topology,
not relying on the CPU auto fill mechanic.

On Linux, changing the nodeset on 'numatune' does not imply that
the guest memory will be migrated on the spot to the new nodeset.
The memory migration is tied on guest usage of the memory pages,
and an idle guest will take longer to have its memory migrated
to the new nodeset.
This is a behavior explained in detail in the Linux kernel
documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.
The user doesn't need this level of detail though - just needs
his/her expectations under check. Running 'numastat' and hoping
for instant memory migration from the previous nodeset to the new
one is not viable.
There's also parts of the memory that are locked by QEMU in the
same place, e.g. when VFIO devices are present. Let's also
mention it as another factor that impacts the results the
user might expect from NUMA memory migration with numatune.

'passthrough' is Xen-Specific guest configuration option new to Xen 4.13
that enables IOMMU mappings for a guest and hence whether it supports PCI
passthrough. The default is disabled. See the xl.cfg(5) man page and
xen.git commit babde47a3fe for more details.
The default state of disabled prevents hotlugging PCI devices. However,
if the guest configuration contains a PCI passthrough device at time of
creation, libxl will automatically enable 'passthrough' and subsequent
hotplugging of PCI devices will also be possible. It is not possible to
unconditionally enable 'passthrough' since it would introduce a migration
incompatibility due to guest ABI change. Instead, introduce another Xen
hypervisor feature that can be used to enable guest PCI passthrough
<features>

To allow finer control over how IOMMU maps to guest P2M table, the

In a guest with only one vcpu, when pinning the emulator in say CPU184
and the vcpu0 in CPU0 of the host, the user might expect that only
CPU0 and CPU184 of the host will be used by the guest.
The reality is that Libvirt takes some time to honor the emulator
and vcpu pinning, taking care of NUMA constraints first. This will
result in other CPUs of the host being potentially used by the
QEMU thread until the emulator/vcpu pinning is done. The user
then might be confused by the output of 'virsh cpu-stats' in this
scenario, showing around 200 microseconds of cycles being spent
in other CPUs.
Let's document this behavior, which is explained in detail in

form a data transfer mechanism for PV drivers. They are also used for

For this reason the native Xen config format supports the
