Thanks for the comment, I'll rebase my patch

$use_virtio was used in past, to disabling use of openvz cfq scheduler, as far I remember. 
I think we have forgot to remove it

You fixed the indentation but forgot about the semicolon :p

I was confused for a minute by this. This modifies the variable outside 
the loop to be used afterwards to decide on the $numa_object. 
What bugs me is that it's very close to an `if()` containing the exact 
same condition and with the real use of this variable being way down in 
the next hunk this relation might be missed in a future patch which 
could potentially break this. 

I'm mentioning this because of ease of maintenance: 

This code already contains the dead $use_virtio variable taken over from 
its previous hunk (found somewhere below) which as far as I can tell is 
only ever written and never actually used, so it should probably be 
removed (including its declaration somewhere further up in the 
function). 

So my suggestion is this: 
-) rename the outer variable to $have_vhost_user 
-) remove $use_virtio (unless I'm wrong and it has a purpose?) 
-) change this piece to: 
my $vhost_user = ($d->{model} eq 'virtio-vhost-user'); 
$have_vhost_user ||= $vhost_user; 
-) change the if() marked below to use $vhost_user 

This also prevents people from accidentally "optimizing" the if() below 
to use $use_vhost_user ;-).

see above comment 

Also you're now switching indentation from from 9 spaces to 1 tab. 
(The for-loop body should begin at 1-tab instead.)
