Fixes related to processing of qemu's -numa option
The -numa option to qemu is used to create [fake] numa nodes
and expose them to the guest OS instance.
There are a couple of issues with the -numa option:
a) Max VCPU's that can be specified for a guest while using
the qemu's -numa option is 64. Due to a typecasting issue
when the number of VCPUs is > 32 the VCPUs don't show up
under the specified [fake] numa nodes.
b) KVM currently has support for 160VCPUs per guest. The
qemu's -numa option has only support for upto 64VCPUs
per guest.
This patch addresses these two issues.
Below are examples of (a) and (b)
a) >32 VCPUs are specified with the -numa option:
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
71:01:01 \
-net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \
-vnc :4
