[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-options.hx: improve -numa doc

[Luiz Capitulino]

The -numa option documentation in qemu's manpage lacks the command-line
options and some information regarding how it relates to options -m and
-smp. This commit fills in the missing text.

+Simulate a multi node NUMA system. If @var{mem} and @var{cpus} are omitted,
+resources are split equally. Also, note that the address@hidden option doesn't
+allocate any of the specified resources. That is, it just assigns existing
+resources to NUMA nodes. This means that one still has to use the 
address@hidden
+and address@hidden options to respectively allocate RAM and vCPUs.
