NUMA, huge pages & cpu pinning are all general purpose Nova features. While NFV / Telcos will be a large user of them, they're not the only. As such these features should be tested in a general Nova test suite, as we would for any other Nova functionality, not in a telco-specific test suite as that just re-inforces the impression that this is a niche feature only useful for a few use cases.
