[Xen-changelog] Make default CPU placement of domains a bit smarter on systems with



ChangeSet 1.1816.1.1, 2005/03/31 22:22:05+01:00, iap10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

        Make default CPU placement of domains a bit smarter on systems with
        hyperthreading: only dom0 gets to use hyperthreading by default, we
        effectively ignore it on all other CPUs by allocating domains to
        the same hyperthread. If you don't like this, use 'xm pincpu' to
        change it. [note: we probably need to make pincpu more expressive,
        providing a list of CPUs that the domain can be scheduled on.]
