Set the guest numa nodes memory policies using the mbind(2)
system call node by node.
After this patch, we are able to set guest nodes memory policies
through the QEMU options, this arms to solve the guest cross
nodes memory access performance issue.
And as you all know, if PCI-passthrough is used,
direct-attached-device uses DMA transfer between device and qemu process.
All pages of the guest will be pinned by get_user_pages().
KVM_ASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE ioctl
kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device()
=>kvm_assign_device()
=> kvm_iommu_map_memslots()
=> kvm_iommu_map_pages()
=> kvm_pin_pages()
So, with direct-attached-device, all guest page's page count will be +1 and
any page migration will not work. AutoNUMA won't too.
So, we should set the guest nodes memory allocation policies before
the pages are really mapped.
