[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxl: Make 'xl vcpu-set' work properly on overcommited hosts.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The libxl_cpu_bitmap_alloc(..) function, if provided with a zero
value for max CPUs will call xc_get_max_cpus() which will retrieve
the number of physical CPUs the host has. This is usually
OK if the guest's maxvcpus <= host pcpus. But if the value
is different, then the bitmap for VCPUs is limited by the
number of CPUs the host has.

This is incorrect as what we want is to hotplug in the guest
the amount of CPUs that the user specified on the command line
and not be limited by the amount of physical CPUs.
