Looking at tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hugepages-pages.args, I see several instances of "-object memory-backend-file...", so look at the counterpart .xml file for some examples: <memoryBacking> <hugepages> <page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='1'/> <page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0,2-3'/> </hugepages> </memoryBacking>
