In ideal world, my plan was perfect. We allow union of all host
nodes in cpuset.mems and once QEMU has allocated its memory, we
'fix up' restriction of its emulator thread by writing the
original value we wanted to set all along. But in fact, we can't
do it because that triggers memory movement. For instance,
consider the following <numatune/>:
<numatune>
<memory mode="strict" nodeset="0"/>
<memnode cellid="1" mode="strict" nodeset="1"/>
</numatune>
<numa>
<cell id="0" cpus="0-1" memory="1024000" unit="KiB" />
<cell id="1" cpus="2-3" memory="1048576" unit="KiB"/>
</numa>
This is meant to create 1:1 mapping between guest and host NUMA
nodes. So we start QEMU with cpuset.mems set to "0-1" (so that it
can allocate memory even for guest node #1 and have the memory
come fro host node #1) and then, set cpuset.mems to "0" (because
that's where we wanted emulator thread to live).
But this in turn triggers movement of all memory (even the
allocated one) to host NUMA node #0. Therefore, we have to just
keep cpuset.mems untouched and rely on .host-nodes passed on the
QEMU cmd line.
The placement still suffers because of cpuset.mems set for vcpus
or iothreads, but that's fixed in next commit.

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.
