-Simulate a multi node NUMA system. If @samp{mem}, @samp{memdev}
-and @samp{cpus} are omitted, resources are split equally. Also, note
-that the -@option{numa} option doesn't allocate any of the specified
-resources. That is, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA nodes. This
-means that one still has to use the @option{-m}, @option{-smp} options
-to allocate RAM and VCPUs respectively, and possibly @option{-object}
-to specify the memory backend for the @samp{memdev} suboption.
+Define a NUMA node and assign RAM and VCPUs to it.
+
+@var{firstcpu} and @var{lastcpu} are CPU indexes. Each
+@samp{cpus} option represent a contiguous range of CPU indexes
+(or a single VCPU if @var{lastcpu} is omitted). A non-contiguous
+set of VCPUs can be represented by providing multiple @samp{cpus}
+options. If @samp{cpus} is omitted on all nodes, VCPUs are automatically
+split between them.
+
+For example, the following option assigns VCPUs 0, 1, 2 and 5 to
+a NUMA node:
+@example
+-numa node,cpus=0-2,cpus=5
+@end example
+
+@samp{mem} assigns a given RAM amount to a node. @samp{memdev}
+assigns RAM from a given memory backend device to a node. If
+@samp{mem} and @samp{memdev} are omitted in all nodes, RAM is
+split equally between them.
+
+@samp{mem} and @samp{memdev} are mutually exclusive. Furthermore,
+if one node uses @samp{memdev}, all of them have to use it.

+Default is 10. Keyboards are low-bandwidth devices, so this slowdown
can help the device and guest to keep up and not lose events in case
events are arriving in bulk. Possible causes for the latter are flaky
network connections, or scripts for automated testing.
