[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 5/6] libxl: print message how to recover from xl cpupool-cpu-remove errors

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

An error occurring when calling "xl cpupool-cpu-remove" might leave
the system in a state where a cpu is neither completely free nor in
a cpupool. This can easily be repaired by adding the cpu via
"xl cpupool-cpu-add" to the cpupool where it was removed from before.
Print a message telling this the user in case of an error.
