libvirt reports a fake NUMA topology in virConnectGetCapabilities
even if built without numactl support. The fake NUMA topology consists
of a single cell representing the host's cpu and memory resources.
Currently this is the case for ARM and s390[x] RPM builds.
A client iterating over NUMA cells obtained via virConnectGetCapabilities
and invoking virNodeGetMemoryStats on them will see an internal failure
"NUMA isn't available on this host". An example for such a client is
VDSM.
Since the intention seems to be that libvirt always reports at least
a single cell it is necessary to return "fake" node memory statistics
matching the previously reported fake cell in case NUMA isn't supported
on the system.
