[Xen-users] On an eight cpu system domU 'cap' can only be set to 100

[td-ifs@xxxxxx]

On a 8 Core system only dom0 can set cap > 100 and vcpus > 1. On a domU 

'xm sched-credit -d <domU> -c 200'

says "Error: cap is out of range". Vcpu cannot be set higher than 1 -
regardless of boot/config/command line. Low performance is equivalent to the
cap setting.
