I think Xen should ignore non-existent cpus in a cpumap. I'm not really
fussed what you do with them in xend -- ignoring them there too would
probably make most sense.

I am a little concerned that if a user pins a vcpu to cpus 0-7 , on a
two-way, and the output of vcpu-list shows him [0,1], that it might look like the pin operation didn't work. If this isn't a big deal, then I'll
also look at throwing out invalid cpus from the cpumap representation.

If the user is trying to pin to CPUs 0-7 on a dual-cpu system, maybe the user doesn't know what they're doing. :-)

You can trust Xen itself to ignore non-existsent CPUs in a cpumap. Whether you filter them out in xend or not I think doesn't matter a great deal.
