Sorry for the thread jack, this will be short...

This is the first I've heard of the "dom0_vcpus_pin" option. So that is
the same as
 xm vcpu-set 0 1
 xm vcpu-pin 0 0 0
where Dom0 will be pinned to CPU0 at boot? What version of Xen did that
option make its appearance?

If so, that would be nice since I've been pinning Dom0 to CPU0 in rc.local
and that always seemed weird to pin after it had booted.

Thanks,
Ryan
