If I understand what you want correctly, you can do this by specifying
the cpuid option in your domU config. The following is cut&paste from
xmexample.hvm
# Expose to the guest multi-core cpu instead of multiple processors
# Example for intel, expose a 8-core processor :
#cpuid=['1:edx=xxx1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
# ebx=xxxxxxxx00010000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
# '4,0:eax=001111xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx']
# - CPUID.1[EDX][HT] : Enable HT
# - CPUID.1[EBX] : Number of vcpus * 2
# - CPUID.4,0[EAX] : Number of vcpus * 2 - 1
#vcpus=8
#
# Example for amd, expose a 5-core processor :
# cpuid = ['1:ebx=xxxxxxxx00001010xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
# edx=xxx1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
# '0x80000001:ecx=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1x',
# '0x80000008:ecx=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx001001']
# - CPUID.1[EBX] : Threads per Core * Cores per Socket (2 * #vcpus)
# - CPUID.1[EDX][HT] : Enable HT
# - CPUID.0x80000001[CmpLegacy] : Use legacy method
# - CPUID.0x80000008[ECX] : #vcpus * 2 - 1
#vcpus=5
I'm not sure what version of xen you get with OpenSuse 11, and I'm not
exactly sure when the cpuid option first appeared.
