I've applied both patches.  I think there's a flaw in the way how
vcpu_to_cpu gets passed up to python, the -1 -> # hack is kind of
gross and it won't work for cpus > 9?

Also the whole hotplug stuff is still missing interrupt re-routing
when a vcpu is taken down.  To do this, we need an evtchn operation to
change the vcpu affinity of a port by changing notify_vcpu_id.
