Good Christmas morning all.

We're using Xen 3.02 via Gentoo. (about to update to 3.04)

When viewing CPU utilization in Dom0 via

  xm list -l
or
  xm top

Xen displays CPU utilization as CPU seconds and percentage. Are these a per-core or aggregate numbers? i.e. In a dual-processor/dual-core system, how many CPU seconds are available per wallclock second, 1, 2 or 4, and how much percentage would be maximum, 100%, 200% or 400%?
