From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@nvidia.com>

NVIDIA GPU's support MIG (Mult-Instance GPUs) feature [1], which allows
partitioning of the GPU device resources (including device memory) into
several (upto 8) isolated instances. Each of the partitioned memory needs
a dedicated NUMA node to operate. The partitions are not fixed and they
can be created/deleted at runtime.

Unfortunately Linux OS does not provide a means to dynamically create/destroy
NUMA nodes and such feature implementation is not expected to be trivial. The
nodes that OS discovers at the boot time while parsing SRAT remains fixed. So
we utilize the Generic Initiator Affinity structures that allows association
between nodes and devices. Multiple GI structures per BDF is possible,
allowing creation of multiple nodes by exposing unique PXM in each of these
structures.

Introduce a new acpi-generic-initiator object to allow host admin provide the
device and the corresponding NUMA nodes. Qemu maintain this association and
use this object to build the requisite GI Affinity Structure.

An admin can provide the range of nodes through a uint16 array host-nodes
and link it to a device by providing its id. Currently, only PCI device is
supported and an error is returned for acpi device. The following sample
creates 8 nodes and link them to the PCI device dev0:

-numa node,nodeid=2 \
-numa node,nodeid=3 \
-numa node,nodeid=4 \
-numa node,nodeid=5 \
-numa node,nodeid=6 \
-numa node,nodeid=7 \
-numa node,nodeid=8 \
-numa node,nodeid=9 \
-device vfio-pci-nohotplug,host=0009:01:00.0,bus=pcie.0,addr=04.0,rombar=0,id=dev0 \
-object acpi-generic-initiator,id=gi0,pci-dev=dev0,host-nodes=2-9 \

There's nothing related to vfio here except for the example use case,
surely you don't need the above two headers.

This doesn't allow introspection of acpi-dev support, the property
shouldn't be added until the support is available.  At least we've
thought about it now and we might use a comment to describe the
intention that ACPI devices could be supported by this option in the
future.

8.2 is in freeze, this is 9.0 material.  Thanks,

Several #include are superfluous.  This compiles for me:

  #include "qemu/osdep.h"
  #include "hw/acpi/acpi-generic-initiator.h"
  #include "hw/pci/pci_device.h"
  #include "qapi/error.h"
  #include "qapi/qapi-builtin-visit.h"
  #include "qapi/visitor.h"
  #include "qemu/error-report.h"
  #include "sysemu/numa.h"

Yes, the alphabetical order is intentional.

The property is named "pci-dev", but the C member is called @device.
Making developers remember this mapping is not nice.  Suggest to rename
to @pci_dev.

Let's add the property when it actually works.  More below at [*].

Why not store the nodes in a bitset, like
host_memory_backend_set_host_nodes() does?

Long line.  Better:

     'data': { '*pci-dev': 'str',

               'host-nodes': ['uint16'] } }
