Adding conditionally compiled code twice does not look good. Please
extract the above into a helper function and use it in the two places
rather than having two blocks of conditional code.

Also I'm not entirely perusaded that this is correct.

When you are getting information for the offline VM the configuration
may change until you start the VM and thus the data gathered here will
not be valid. (e.g. if you turn the cpus back on)

For running VMs the data depends on the state when the VM was started
and at least for vcpu threads is gathered back using
virProcessGetAffinity and thus should be reported correctly.

Additionally we historically treat the "all bits set" cpu map as that
there is no pinning configured. This would change this behavior. When
the VM is started, the real cpu map should be returned, but for the
config time I think the current state is correct and doing your change
would be incorrect.
