What is the best way to pin VCPUs. It looks like the implementation of affinity currently is at best only "soft".

Regards,

VCPU affinity should not be soft. By the time the set affinity hypercall
returns, the VCPU in question should be running on a physical CPU
set in its affinity mask.

If it's not behaving this way then something is broken. Can you send
more details?
