+          Add support in numa topology for file source inside memory backing (hugepages are not needed)
+          Three new elements &lt;source&gt;,&lt;access&gt; and &lt;allocation&gt; were added to &lt;memoryBacking&gt; element.
+          Also new configuration parameter "memory_backing_dir" was added.
