[PATCH v1 4/4] libxl: set vcpu affinity during domain creation

Since Xen 4.5 libxl allows to set affinities during domain creation.
This enables Xen to allocate the domain memory on NUMA systems close to
the specified pcpus.

Libvirt can now handle <domain/cputune/vcpupin> in domU.xml correctly.

Without this change, Xen will create the domU and assign NUMA memory and
vcpu affinities on its own. Later libvirt will adjust the affinity,
which may move the vcpus away from the assigned NUMA node.
