Hi, I can't seem to find this in any documentation, but I'm curious of how Xen processor reservations work. Do DomUs get physically allocated several processors to use that remain just remain a constant number and possibly get shared with other VMs, or do they really get their own processors that aren't touched by anyone else?

Just to stack two questions, I'm also wondering how safe it is to mix and match PAE/non-PAE linux kernels under a PAE xen. PAE should only be necessary in Linux if it's been allocated more than 4 gigabytes from Xen, correct? Thanks much for the replies in advance!
