I agree, but if we wish to ping vCPUx to pCPUy in host a, we cannot ensure to have the same in host b,
since it may have pCPUy too busy, so performance will degrade. Also, I hope you saw my general comment
about starting with a humble solution and gradually improving. In this context (auto)numa can help us,
so we better do numa than handle migration for basic mode, risking performance issues.
