[Libvir] Re: Virtual CPU functions

[Philippe Berthault]

I've tried to illustrate an exemple of virDomainGetVcpus API with a 2 
dimensional cpumaps array.
If you are agree with this, I can modify the patch of Michel Ponceau in 
this sense before the end of this week.

I've proposed the virDomainGetCpus API to be in accordance with the 
virDomainPinVcpu which is per vpcu and not per domain as 
virDomainGetVcpus API.
The virDomainPinVcpu API is'nt symmetrical with virDomainGetVcpus and 
must be called N times to perform the CPU mapping of a domain which 
isn't very satisfying.
Another complaint against the virDomainPinVcpu versus virDomainGetVcpus 
API is that the cpumap parameter hasn't the same meaning in these two 
APIs. This point requires to duplicate macro for bit manipulations on 
these maps.
