The point here is:
If I am on oVirt 3.4.x environment, is this numa_tune_mode parameter
present in the VM definition?
I have not at hand now a 3.4 system so I cannot check.
If not present at all in pre-3.5 VMs and I upgrade my environment, what
would be done for my pre-existing VMs?
Because I verified (not from 3.5rc3 scratch installation but upgrading from
3.5rc2) that for new VMs indeed the parameter is set with "interleave" as
default.
I don't know if inside the sql upgrade scripts there is something like

if current < 3.5 then add parameter and set to interleave

So in this case it would make the correct thing for 3.4 environments, but
as a corner effect it would do nothing for my 3.5.rc2 environment, that
still didn't have the parameter, causing the problem I'm experiencing....
