Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 12/12] food for thought

Xen is more complex than I first thought.
I'm debating whether to support xendConfigVersion <= 2 (xm_internal.h)
or just xendConfigVersion >= 3 (xend_internal.h).
RHEL 5.5 uses xendConfigVersion==2, so that answers the question
(although not in the way I was expecting - more work before I'm ready to
post).
Additional things I've discovered:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-11/msg01061.html
documents that the config file (xm_internal.h) has two parameters, vcpus
is the max, and vcpu_avail is a bitmask of which vcpus to enable at
boot. I'm assuming that xen cannot support more than 32 vcpus?
I confirmed in the xen source that there is a cap of 32 vcpus for
paravirt machines, at least per the MAX_VIRT_CPUS macro as used in libvirt.
