So if I'm reading things right... when building the numa string, if it's
determine that "-object" and ",memdev=ram-node%zu" will be required,
then it's also required to have "-mem-alloc -mem-path ..."

(furrowing through the qemu docs was more difficult than I thought)

Perhaps "outside" the domain of these changes; however, I note that the
call to qemuBuildNumaArgStr is from qemuBuildCommandLine as follows:

    if (virDomainNumaGetNodeCount(def->numa)) {
        if (qemuBuildNumaArgStr(cfg, def, cmd, qemuCaps, nodeset) < 0)

one of the first things done in qemuBuildNumaArgStr:

    size_t ncells = virDomainNumaGetNodeCount(def->numa);

oh and of course the pesky

    const long system_page_size = virGetSystemPageSizeKB();

I mentioned previously

BTW: Not noted by Coverity, but interestingly later in the code there's:

        if (ncells) {
            /* Fortunately, we allow only guest NUMA nodes to be continuous
             * starting from zero. */
            pos = ncells - 1;
        }

Which if I'm reading things correct - cannot happen.

Just a note - you don't have to change/fix this, but well if you want to...

ACK to what's here as it seems reasonable - perhaps a better reason in
the commit message would help
