Public bug reported:
When specifying "hw:cpu_realtime_mask" in the flavor,
LibvirtDriver._get_guest_numa_config() calls
hardware.vcpus_realtime_topology() to calculate "vcpus_rt" and
"vcpus_em". It then directly uses "vcpus_em" to set the "emulatorpin"
cpuset.
The problem is that libvirt expects the "emulatorpin" cpuset to be
specified as physical CPUs, not virtual CPUs.
This results in unexpected values being used for the emulator pinning.
The fix is to convert "vcpus_em" from vCPUs to pCPUs, and assign the
pCPUs to the "emulatorpin" cpuset.
