Yep, it's my fault. Thank you for pointing that.

I reconsidered about it and I agreed with you, because we won't get 
the cpus values when pined several PCPU to each VCPU, like the 
following case:
   domA  VCPU:0  PCPU:0-1
         VCPU:1  PCPU:0-1
         VCPU:2  PCPU:2
         VCPU:3  PCPU:3
And, we certainly can get the vcpu affinities above by other way 
(i.e. call "xenDaemonDomainGetVcpus" and analyze the result), but
it will be costly at this time, though I would like to make them.
So could you commit the patch first to support the cpus value 
at starting/defining the guest domain for RHEL5.2 ? 

Please let me know if you have any comments and suggestions.

  thanks !

Saori
