I think an ordered list of cpus is most user-friendly, perhaps using 
range notation to keep it short (so, for example, mask 0x77 would print 
as '0-2, 4-6' rather than '0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6'). A mask is a more 
succinct representation but maybe not so good for users. :-)

I think Xen should ignore non-existent cpus in a cpumap. I'm not really 
fussed what you do with them in xend -- ignoring them there too would 
probably make most sense.
