Given Daniel's latest emails, I'm not sure this is useful but
libxl_get_cpu_topology() should put LIBXL_CPUTOPOLOGY_INVALID_ENTRY in
all the fields of the i-eth element of the array it returns, if the
i-eth pcpu is offline (see the implementation of XEN_SYSCTL_topologyinfo
in xen/common/sysctl.c).

So, scanning that array and constructing the bitmap according to whether
or not we find that marker on the various elements would be the way to
go, I would say.

I've actually never tested this, i.e., I've never tried offlining a pcpu
on the host. I'll give it a go as soon as I find 5 minutes, and let know
if it works.

Dario
