Hi,
i want to start domain with 2 cpus avail, but also have the opportunity
to change on-the-fly the number of cpus to, for example, 4.

in my domain.cfg i have:

vcpus       = 2
vcpu_avail =  7

The domain starts with 2 cpus, as expected, but rising the number
does not work. It silently fails. Lowering the number works as expected.

$ xm vcpu-set domain 3

$ xm list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   
Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0  7016     8     r-----   
1445.7
domain                                      53   256     2     -b----    
 45.8

Did I miss something? Any suggestions?
