The ACPI equivalent code must be missing (at least) the above, because,
even with DT, mach-virt won't have cpu to node mappings unless numa
is configured on the command line. Can you try adding something like

    -m 512 -smp 4 \
    -numa node,mem=256M,cpus=0-1,nodeid=0 \
    -numa node,mem=256M,cpus=2-3,nodeid=1

to your QEMU command line? Then when you boot with ACPI you'll get a
SRAT. If that works, then we're just missing the "no SRAT, nid = 0"
code (that should have been added with this patch)

Thanks,
