According to
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/xen-command-line.html
it should be maxcpus=N, however this doesn't look to be wired up on ARM
(which I'm inferring is what you are interested in).

Yes, I'm working on ARM :)

Modifying xen/arch/arm/setup.c using xen/arch/x86/setup.c's handling of
integer_param("maxcpus"...) as inspiration shouldn't be too tricky,
patches welcome!

I quickly hard-coded the number of cpus in xen/arch/arm/setup.c,

It worked! thanks!

I'll try to make a patch to use the command line option.Â

Ian.
