Main reason was to keep cpu hotplugging simple. New cpus are always
added to Pool-0 and should be available to dom0 immediately without
having to move them to another cpupool.

It could be changed, of course. But I don't see any advantage in
allowing to move dom0 to another cpupool, while the code would be
more complicated.
