Since 5.0 QEMU uses hostmem backend for allocating main guest RAM. The backend however calls mbind() which is typically NOP in case of default policy/absent host-nodes bitmap. However when runing in container with black-listed mbind() syscall, QEMU fails to start with error "cannot bind memory to host NUMA nodes: Operation not permitted" even when user hasn't provided host-nodes to pin to explictly (which is the case with -m option) To fix issue, call mbind() only in case when user has provided host-nodes explicitly (i.e. host_nodes bitmap is not empty). That should allow to run QEMU in containers with black-listed mbind() without memory pinning. If QEMU provided memory-pinning is required user still has to white-list mbind() in container configuration.
