Sorry, I didn't express that clearly. Let me put it another way: in -stable
you can't give more than one hyperthread to a domain but you *can* have more
than one domain per hyperthread.
The configuration you suggest above won't work because you can only give one
logical processor to a domain.
If you want to run two domains on hyperthreads on the same CPU, you can assign
one of them cpu = 0 and the other one to cpu = 1. The two domains will run
simultaneously in threads on that physical CPU. If you only want one domain
at a time to run on the CPU, you should specify cpu = 0 in both config files.
The same applies for the hyperthreads on your second CPU (but with cpu = 2
instead of 0 and cpu = 3 instead of 1).
HTH,
Mark
