If you go this way, use an array of references to the numa nodes instead of a 
start and number.
There is no obvious reason why they should be contiguous that I can see.

I think it is simpler the other way around though - so have the numa nodes 
point at the
vfio-pci-nohotplug device. 

I've not looked closely at implementation as I think we want to address the 
fundamental
approach first.
