Michal Privoznik df2ef2e706 qemuBuildThreadContextProps: Prune .node-affinity wrt <emulatorpin/>
When a thread-context object is specified on the cmd line, then
QEMU spawns a thread and sets its affinity to the list of NUMA
nodes specified in .node-affinity attribute. And this works just
fine, until the main QEMU thread itself is not restricted.

Because of v5.3.0-rc1~18 we restrict the main emulator thread
even before QEMU is executed and thus then it tries to set
affinity of a thread-context thread, it inevitably fails with:

  Setting CPU affinity failed: Invalid argument

Now, we could lift the pinning temporarily, let QEMU spawn all
thread-context threads, and enforce pinning again, but that would
require some form of communication with QEMU (maybe -preconfig?).
But that would still be wrong, because it would circumvent
<emulatorpin/>.

Technically speaking, thread-context is an internal
implementation detail of QEMU, and if it weren't for it, the main
emulator thread would be doing the allocation. Therefore, we
should honor the pinning and prune the list of node so that
inaccessible ones are dropped.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
