Posted this to xen-users back in Oct
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/users/186768), but just
confirmed that I'm still seeing this behavior on 4.1.

Polling the UCE-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle counter results in a total that's
double the actual number of cpu's on the system, so for example:

nms ~ # snmpwalk -v 2c -c 'XXX' xen1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53 && sleep 60
&& snmpwalk -v 2c -c 'XXX' xen1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle.0 = Counter32: 1313274
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle.0 = Counter32: 1324862

(1324862 - 1313274) / 6000 * 100 = 193%

This is polling a dom0 restricted to 1 core using "dom0_max_vcpus=1
dom0_vcpus_pin=true", both proc/cpuinfo and top show only 1 core.

I also see the issue on the domU's, the domU's are running a stock
kernel which does not exhibit this behavior on physical hardware.

This is using stock xen 4.1 with the xen/stable-2.6.32.x kernel, using
net-snmp 5.4.3-r6. Anyone have any insight here or info on how I might
be able to debug this further? I'm not even sure where to look beyond this.

Thanks!

- Nathan
