For x86_64, this can be resolved by adding `-numa node,memdev=mem0` to the command line. As such, I think this error message should instead guide a user to adding that argument. + +Part B: No documented configuration to run vhost-user for machines that don't support numa. +The mips malta machine does not support the `-numa` flag.
