Well, you have "affinity = any cpu" for all your VCPUs, so they're probably
running on whatever CPU is free. Maybe CPU 3 was being used be another
domain at the time, so the VCPUs had been migrated?
I've not looked into the code here for a while, though, so I could be wrong.
If you run the command again under different workload conditions, you might
find that the vcpu-list command returns different results...
I think you can vcpu-pin VCPUs to logical processors if you want to do the
mapping manually (e.g. you want stricter performance partitioning at the
expense of not using as many available cycles on all CPUs as possible).
Cheers,
Mark
