As I recall there were some problems related with cpu pin, which seems
to be version or distro-specific. Perhaps this is one of them.

One way is to not use Ubuntu :P
Another way is to try compiling Xen from source first. You should be
able to use either Ubuntu's/Debian's/Xen.org's kernel, whichever works
better for you.

I use RHEL boxes with RH's Xen 3.1 or Gitco's Xen 3.3.1 and 3.4, with
RH's kernel-xen. Cpu pin works fine on those systems.
