I am not fully convinced about this. I mean - it would be nice to have
unified options names for these commands, but I am afraid we can't
change them.

Maybe it's a bit early morning for me, but I didn't get this
description. We are always affecting current domain :) I would append
'status' word, resulting in "affect current domain status". This makes
it clear for me. And maybe change description for 'vcpupin' command as
well. But that could be a follow up patch.

Otherwise looking good.
