  Debian AMD64 2.6.32-28 on hypervisor 4.0.1, option 'numa=fake=1',
boots fine too on my R410. Dmesg attached.

  PS: in both "numa=noacpi" and "numa=fake=1" cases where I can actually
run with a 4.0 hypervisor, I can't reboot. Dmesg ends with 'Restarting
system.' but the machine never reboots. OTOH reboots works while booting
native with the same kernel.
