I'm still hoping for review from somebody who better understands
how QEMU and NUMA should interact, but in the meantime some comments
at a code level:

This patchset seems to be moving the initialization of a lot of
the dtb from this generic code into the virt board. That doesn't
seem right to me -- why would NUMA support be specific to the
virt board? I would expect support for this to be in the generic
code (possibly controlled with a board option for "I support NUMA").
As it is your patch will break support for every other
board that uses device trees, because they rely on this code
which you've deleted here.

g_new0() is usually better than g_malloc0(count * sizeof(thing));

Why do we create a local buffer array and then immediately do nothing
with it but memcpy() it somewhere else? I suspect this code would
be clearer if you defined a type (possibly a struct) where you're
currently using raw uint64_t array[6]. Then you could make your
mem_map, cpu_map and node_matrix variables have more sensible types
than raw uint64_t*, and you could just set the right element in them
using C array syntax rather than these memcpy calls.

Lots of unnecessary hardcoded 6s here (and above and below).
