While applying the fix a week ago I was under the impression that QXL 
doesn't use a device structure because it doesn't have one and so can't 
give anything meaningful for this parameter.

If QXL does have a device structure and can provide it I would rather 
like to go down this route and make the device and with it the numa node 
mandatory for drivers to specify.

Christian.
