In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:

<vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
  <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
  <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>

gets translated into this one:

<vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
  <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
  <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>


And on the subsequent edit, the emulatorpin was removed, yes.  We
could say that <vcpu placement='auto'/> is used only for vCPUs, but
that would change the current behaviour.

We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

You're testing that we won't remove the emulatorpin, but where's the
test that we won't change the vcpu placement?

ACK with that test added and this diff squashed in:
