The above-cited posting is mostly correct. In particular cpus= in a guest
config does behave as you think, whereas (dom0-cpus 1) will cause dom0 to
enable only one vcpu for itself. However, it is not true that by default
each dom0 vcpu is pinned to its equivalent numbered physical cpu. To get
that behaviour you must either configure it via use of 'vm vcpu-pin'
commands, or by specifying dom0_vcpus_pin as a Xen boot parameter.
