I tried it and indeed the NUMA topology for a memory-less node shows up
totally broken in the guest. From your comments on the linked bugzilla
I thought that it worked properly if you specify memory='0' explicitly.

Since cpu-less nodes are possible for a long time and with the new
cpu-hotplug API you can select individual vcpus to hotplug according to
the id I was under the impression that only the syntax-sugar stuff was
necessary to cover everyting.
