Not sure why you're quoting that commit has as it is unrelated.
This use of MB is from pretty much day 1 in 506fb7d8
Yes, you're right, that was the wrong commit hash and 506fb7d8 is the
correct one.

We can't change this as it would break every single existing user of this
API which have been written to expect this to be a MB value.
Okay. This is already documented in libvirt-override-api.xml:
102 <function name='virNodeGetInfo'
file='python'>
103 <info>Extract hardware information about the Node. Note that the memory
size is reported in MiB instead of KiB.</info>
I was only looking at the C-API documentation.
So my patch can go to >/dev/null.
Sorry for the noise.
