[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] libxc: do some retries in xc_cpupool_removecpu() for EBUSY case



The hypervisor might return EBUSY when trying to remove a cpu from a
cpupool when a domain running in this cpupool has pinned a vcpu
temporarily. Do some retries in this case, perhaps the situation
cleans up.
