Subject: qemu, numa: non-contiguous cpusets

Btw,

while I got your attention, on a not-really related topic: how do we
feel about adding support for specifying a non-contiguous set of cpus
for a numa node in qemu with the -numa option? I.e., like this, for
example:

x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 8 -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0\;2\;4-5 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1\;3\;6-7

The ';' needs to be escaped from the shell but I'm open for better
suggestions.
