How is that non-obvious? You specify a set of CPUs on which you are
happy for that VCPU to run and Xen may run the VCPU on any of those
CPUs at any time. The current implementation's decision to change
the CPU binding the moment you specify the set of CPUs, and always
choose the lowest one, is perfectly reasonable given the specification
of that interface.
