Yes it makes sense, however i was wondering if something like this is possible or not. Lets say a heavy disk io process goes wild and keeps on writing to disk and span multiple processes, the dom0 can come to a grinding halt. (for that matter there is no way to do disk io scheduling like cpu scheduling :( )

Not really -- but why would you care? My understanding is that
scheduling between domains is on a domain-by-domain level rather than a
process-by-process level, so running more processes won't let a given
domain take up an unfairly large amount of CPU time.
