Michal Privoznik 53369ad062 virnuma: Allow multiple nodes for preferred policy
In the past, the preferred policy
(VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_MEM_PREFERRED) required exactly one (host)
NUMA node. This made sense because:

  1) the libnuma API - numa_set_preferred() allowed exactly one
     node, because
  2) corresponding kernel syscall (__NR_set_mempolicy) accepted
     exactly one node (for MPOL_PREFERRED mode).

But things have changed since then. Firstly, kernel introduced
new MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode (v5.15-rc1~107^2~21) which was then
exposed in libnuma as numa_set_preferred_many() (v2.0.15~24).

Fortunately, libnuma also exposes numa_has_preferred_many() which
returns whether the kernel has support for the new mode (1) or
not (0).

Putting this all together, we can lift our check for sufficiently
new kernel and libnuma.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
