I'm so sorry, Martin.
You literally JUST replied (this morning! so funny!) and I totally
missed those emails.
I will reply in the other thread.
Please disregard this resend.

CPR-based support for whole-hypervisor kexec-based live updates is
now finally merged into QEMU. In support of this, we need NUMA to be
supported in these kinds of environments. To do this we use a technology
called PMEM (persistent memory) in Linux, which underpins the ability for
CPR Live Updates to work so that QEMU memory can remain in RAM and
be recovered after a kexec operationg has completed. Our systems are highly
NUMA-aware, and so this patch series enables NUMA awareness for live updates.
Further, we make a small change that allows live migrations to work
between *non* PMEM-based systems and PMEM-based systems (and
vice-versa). This allows for seemless upgrades from non-live-compatible
systems to live-update-compatible sytems without any downtime.
