From: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitul...@redhat.com>
The -numa option documentation in qemu's manpage lacks the command-line
options and some information regarding how it relates to options -m and
-smp. This commit fills in the missing text.

+that the -@option{numa} option doesn't allocate any of the specified
