I belive that the dumpxml grab the cpuset information.

For the active domain, we compute the cpuset information that we get
from Xen. 
If all CPU are used, dumpxml does not show the cpuset information,
because no setting of cpuset is the same meaning with all CPU.
If some CPU is pined, dumpxml shows the pined cpuset information.
(just a example)
When pining "1" of PCPU for each VCPU, dumpxml will show the following
cpuset information.
  # virsh vcpuinfo 2
  VCPU:           0
  CPU:            1
  State:          blocked
  CPU time:       5.1s
  CPU Affinity:   -y
  
  VCPU:           1
  CPU:            1
  State:          blocked
  CPU time:       6.7s
  CPU Affinity:   -y
  
  # virsh dumpxml 2
  ...
    <vcpu cpuset='1'>2</vcpu>
  ...

For the inactive domain, there are two case for dumpxml.
In case of the xendConfigVersion < 3, we get the cpuset information
from configuration file (i.e. cpus parameter of /etc/xen/config).
In other case, we try to get the cpuset information from Xen.
But we cannot get the information from Xen, so the dumpxml cannot show
the cpuset information for the inactive domain.

Don't you think so ?
