+ While SMBIOS support has historically been limited to x86_64, modern

+ qemu: Set process affinity correctly when using <numatune>
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ libvirt would mistakenly interpret the <code>nodeset</code>
+ attribute as a list of CPUs instead of as a list of NUMA node, and
+ the process affinity would be set incorrectly as a result; this has
