foreach_dimm() provides a guest numa node index, when used
in conjunction with the guest-to-host numa node topology
mapping one has to make sure that the correct host-side
indices are used.
This covers situations where the user defines a numaX with
hostnodes=Y with Y != X.
For instance:
cores: 2
hotplug: disk,network,cpu,memory
hugepages: 2
memory: 2048
numa: 1
numa1: memory=512,hostnodes=0,cpus=0-1,policy=bind
numa2: memory=512,hostnodes=0,cpus=2-3,policy=bind
Both numa IDs 1 and 2 passed by foreach_dimm() have to be
mapped to host node 0.
Note that this also reverses the foreach_reverse_dimm() numa
node numbering as the current code, while walking sizes
backwards, walked the numa IDs inside each size forward,
which makes more sense. (Memory hot-unplug is still working
with this.)
vm configuration
----------------
hugepages: (any|2|1024)
any: we'll try to allocate 1GB hugepage if possible, if not we use 2MB hugepage
2: we want to use 2MB hugepage
1024: we want to use 1GB hugepage. (memory need to be multiple of 1GB in this case)
optionnal host configuration for 1GB hugepages
----------------------------------------------
1GB hugepages can be allocated at boot if user want it.
hugepages need to be contiguous, so sometime it's not possible to reserve them on the fly
/etc/default/grub : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet hugepagesz=1G hugepages=x"
