Is the per vcpu cgroup optional?  I.e., is is possible to set the period
and quota for the entire domain and let the host scheduler deal with
it?  

Caveat:  Domain level CFS shares seems to work well--"work well" here
means "behaves as I expected" ;-).  I have no experience with the
period/quota facility and libvirt domains, so maybe it doesn't make
sense to cap cpu utilization at the domain level.
