Good catch, applied, thank you!

There is a similar construct in kvm-remote.sh, so I added a similar
fix to your patch.

But what about this in functions.sh?

nt="`lscpu | grep '^NUMA node0' | sed -e 's/^[^,]*,\([0-9]*\),.*$/\1/'`"

I am guessing that "node0" is human-language-independent, but is "NUMA"?

							Thanx, Paul

    torture: Correctly fetch number of CPUs for non-English languages
    
    Grepping for "CPU" on lscpu output isn't always successful, depending
    on the local language setting.  As a result, the build can be aborted
    early with:
    
            "make: the '-j' option requires a positive integer argument"
    
    This commit therefore uses the human-language-independent approach
    available via the getconf command, both in kvm-build.sh and in
    kvm-remote.sh.
