So, this patch is, technically, mostly fine. The observations on the
subject made when reviewing patch 1 applies here too, of course.

Something on the selection of functions the functions. The title says
the patch will address "vcpu related functions". However, there are a
bunch of parse_*() functions in the diff.

I appreciate that, for instance, parse_vcpu_affinity() can be
considered a vcpu related function, but that applies a lot less to
 parse_vnuma_config(), IMO. I'd therefore exclude the latter from this
patch.

Alternatively, get rid of both and do another patch specifically for
dealing with parse_*() items. There are not many of them that are
actual exit paths and/or contain calls to exit() (parse_config_data()
is big enough, and a bit more complex, that it may well deserve its own
patch, and you can leave it alone, just mention that in the changelog).

A few more comments below.
