For command line tools like virsh I prefer to have it consistently report in the same units, so if someone wants to script it from the shell they don't have to concern themselves with changing units. All the other virsh commands report in KB, so the simple fix is to just divide by 1024.

In checking this I discovered a whole bunch of other fun bugs in the NUMA support :-) The QEMU impl was not returning the correct return code - it used -1 instead of 0. The QEMU impl was also not setting an error if the requested cell was out of range. The libvirtd remote driver was not correctly seeing return value of -1 due to casting it to an unsigned int. virsh was not checking return values correctly either.

So I propose the following patch....
