This wouldn't work with libvirt with numa pinnnig enabled. Aditionally the target numa node mode that is configured in the numatune section is not honored. The hugepage backend (memory-backend-file) part in your impl requires the user to specify the path for the memory device. Libvirt has a lot code that does this detection and it should be reused. > </dimm> I'm pretty far in my effort so I think it's not worth for you to continue working on this feature. Peter
