one more unrelated note
current faqemu is broken on 3.6 as it removes the whole cpu tag which is needed when
hotplug memory is enabled, which in turn enables numa, libvirt checks for cpu-numa mapping
and fails to find any
please fix it along the way:-)
Better fix it on its own, since we'd need to have the fix backported.
(unless you plan to backport the whole cpuinfo branch)
