[Xen-devel] [PATCH v8 09/13] libxl/xl: push VCPU affinity pinning down to libxl



From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces an array of libxl_bitmap called "vcpu_hard_affinity"
in libxl IDL to preserve VCPU to PCPU mapping. This is necessary for libxl
to preserve all information to construct a domain.

Also define LIBXL_HAVE_AFFINITY_LIST in libxl.h to mark the change in
API.

This patch was originally part of Wei's series about pushing as much
information as possible on domain configuration in libxl, rather than
xl. See here, for more details:

Changes since v7:
 This patch is new in the series, and it is coming from Wei's series
 about pushing domain config information down to libxl. It is being
 incorporated in this series to reduce as much as possible the
 inter-dependencies between the two patch series, i.e., for ease
 of development and review.
