[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xm: allow xm create cpus parameter to accept range

The following patch removes the integer restriction on the cpu
parameter.  xm create already handles the cpus value being comprised of
a string representing a range of values ("0-3,^2,4-6" -> [0,1,3,4,5,6])
but currently rejects any value that cannot be converted to an integer:

[x460-3 ~]# xm create /etc/xen/ubuntu_hoary_amd64_dom1 cpus="16-31"
Error: Invalid value: 16-31
[x460-3 ~]# xm create /etc/xen/ubuntu_hoary_amd64_dom1 cpus="2-4"
Error: Invalid value: 2-4

With the attached patch, changing the getopt type to value removes the
restriction and works as expected.

[x460-3 ~] # xm create /etc/xen/ubuntu_hoary_amd64_dom1 cpus="16-31,^17"
Using config file "/etc/xen/ubuntu_hoary_amd64_dom1".
Started domain x460-3-guest

[root@x460-3 ~]# xm vcpu-list 3
