Well, i would expect some "fairness", that is:
50% dom0, 50% domU
or
33% dom0 and 66% for two domUs
or
25% dom0 and 75% for three domUs
and so on ...
Perhaps, people would also like to say: guarantee up to 33% percent CPU
usage to dom0. (Not meaning, that dom0 is limited to 33% and not meaning
that all domUs together are limited to 66%)
Don't you think, that this would be enough to ensure that IO and network
is working properly?
Of course, that requires a (fairly simple?) scheduler within Xen.

That seems far to complicated to me.
