When specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell' elements. With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before, but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to that field. This will be useful when we have tuning settings for particular guest NUMA node.It's not always true that order doesn't matter - for the longest time, the order of <disk> under <devices> determined boot order. But I agree that the flexibility of using an id to allow arbitrary ordering can be nicer than enforcing constant ordering.
I was under the impression that it's determined by the buses the disks are connected to. Anyway even if that matters, I'm not sure we guarantee that and if we do, it should be fixed from my POV. But that's a discussion for another day.
