  okay, good,

  Okay, I looked at it, the only worry I have is that it takes the
cpus values as emitted in the S-Expr and output it directly in the XML.
I guess it really depends how xend exports this information, reading
the code it seems they only generate a comma separated CPU list on output
(in which case reusing libvirt parsing/serialization to compact it to
ranges would be nicer), but I don't have machines with enough CPUs to
really see this, could you have a lookm before I check this in ?

  okay, thanks !
