Don't we need to populate the NUMA node in the Affinity byte of MPIDR? Linux uses the Affinity information in MPIDR to build topology which might go wrong for the guest in this case. Maybe a non Linux OS might be impacted more? distance-map compatible string has been changed from "numa,distance-map-v1" to "numa-distance-map-v1" Thanks, Ashok
