(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem,size=4G,policy=bind,host-nodes=0
Error: Invalid parameter type for 'host-nodes', expected: array
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem,size=4G,policy=bind,host-nodes.0=0
(qemu)

HMP is not a stable interface, so changing the syntax didn't feel like a
problem to me. I doubt many people do HMP memory hotplug while setting a
specific NUMA policy, but it wouldn't change my assessment anyway. I
should have made this explicit in the commit message, though.
