Yes, 'virsh vcpupin' can be used to change CPU affinity at runtime.

Going behind libvirt's back may lead to unexpected surprises.  Also,
preferring the libvirt interfaces for changing CPU affinity gives you
better flexibility of changing things even when using remote URIs (you
don't have to open separate ssh sessions to the remote machines to run
secondary tools).
