Thanks. Now my understanding of using numa for vhost-user port is to have 
"shared=on" for the hugepage. It does not have any relationship with numa. It 
just wants to use the param "MemAccess" in numa. Is my understanding correct?

In addition, anyone have idea bout my question 1 and 2? I am wondering whether 
hugepage can only be used for networking but not for all.

It's worth referring this link  http://download.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html  for all 
the information on the qemu arguments.
