Note that the following format, currently used by libvirt:

No way.
Agreed. :-)
The bad news is that libvirt uses this format since forever, this format never worked, and nobody ever noticed that this was broken.
Well, libvirt just entered freeze for 1.0.3. I think the best course of action on libvirt's side is to patch 1.0.3 to flat-out reject any cpumap that cannot be represented in a syntax understood by qemu 1.4; then a future libvirt can re-add support for whatever new syntax qemu 1.5 deems as appropriate. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
