OK, I won't mention anything pine-cone-related then ;)

From the name I think that rather qemuDomainGetIOThreadsLive() should
be adjusted, not Config(), unless I misunderstood what they do.
The Live function takes whatever bitmap was used to set using
GetAffinity. It can be initially set from autoCpuset in hotplug or
qemuProcessStart (return from qemuSetupCgroupForIOThreads). So I think
Live is fine. The "Config" though would need adjustment.
For the Emulator/Vcpu code LIVE/CONFIG is a bit different since it
combines live/config...

OK, I'll add some info in there.

No it doesn't. Is there a problem with that? I haven't found any.
IIRC - when I was looking at how/where autoCpuset was initialized - it
was only done so in qemuProcessStart, but I think my thought was around
whether there was a chance if placement_mode could be AUTO and
autoCpuset not be properly initialized. In hindsight and after more
looking it doesn't seem possible; however, I do note that the
NeedsPlacementAdvice can return true for more than one reason. So now
I'm wondering - should any of those checks that only check
placement_mode == AUTO - should they change to using
virDomainDefNeedsPlacementAdvice?
