Thu Jan 20 05:25:49 UTC 2011


From: Nikunj A. Dadhania <nikunj at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Make cpu share persistent and add support for parsing them.

docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document cputune element
src/conf/domain_conf.c,src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add cputune element parsing
src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Use the parsed cputune shares value
src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c: Use the parsed cputune shares value
