Thank you for you answer, Antoine.


I'm sorry, I think that I had to formulate my question more
precisely.

I do not want give domU any information about real hardware.
I want to provide it with virtual cpus (it is possible, ant question
is not about this) and show this vcpus say as cores of one CPU
or as independent CPUS. AFAIU this become possible since Xen 3.3.
