When I said "CPUs" I meant the number of physical CPUs (or strictly 
speaking: cores) visible by Dom0.
I thought I got my RPM from RedHat's repo, but there is a possibility 
that I'm wrong here... and I thought that Xen won't support more than 32 
cores.
I'm not really after setting up 48 cores for one virtual machine, just 
wanted to be able to have all 48 visible in Dom0 (and then have up to 16 
per VM).
Thanks for the answers; interesting read.

Kind regards,
Martin
