NFV: I/O (PCIe) Based NUMA Scheduling

Registered by Adrian Hoban

The NUMA locality of I/O devices is another important characteristic to consider when configuring a high performance, low latency system for NFV workloads.

This blueprint aims at combining NUMA based PCIe device information with the CPU/NUMA related topology info included in the juno release.

This optimises Openstack guest placement by ensuring that a guest bound to a PCI device is scheduled to run on a NUMA node that is associated with the guests pCPU and memory allocation.
