Hello,
I want to add the info of VCPU mapping into the XML, because we cannot manage VCPU mapping automatically when a domain starts or reboots.
But in the following patch, the function written in "TODO" which I wanted has not been accepted.

If I provided the patch managing VCPU mapping in the XML, do you accept it?
The VCPU mapping, schedular parameters, and similar types of data are all examples of 'runtime policy' you'd apply to a guest domain. The XML format meanwhile, is expressing a guest's virtual hardware definition. IMHO we should not mix runtime policy with hardware defintiion, and thus I'd say it was not appropriate to include VCPU mapping in the XML.
If I good remember we've selected XML, because it supports namespaces and you can extend a domain description by arbitrary three-party (non-libvirt) stuff. Karel -- Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
