+        <description>
+          libvirt has always considered these addresses (used for pSeries
+          guests) as 64-bit, but the sPAPR specification says that they're
+          32-bit instead.

+        <description>
+          libvirt would mistakenly interpret the <code>nodeset</code>
+          attribute as a list of CPUs instead of as a list of NUMA node, and
+          the process affinity would be set incorrectly as a result; this has
+          now been fixed.
