Even though this is, technically speaking, a build-breaker fix,
different version of this was posted before [1] and not accepted

I'd rather go the __attribute__((noinline)) way, because I'm very
concerned that the two copies of virNumaNodesetIsAvailable() will
get out of sync at some point. If that happened, our tests will
continue to pass just fine even though the code shipped in the
library is potentially broken.


I don't want this to sound like I'm against that approach.  If anyone
agrees, then let's push Jan's patch and we're good to go :)  I just
wanted to show another look at things.

Of course if someone can come up with a proper fix, that's even
better :)


That would be, but...  Anyway, thanks for your opinion, we'll see how
this goes.
