Yes, I'm recommending cpufreq=xen which is more efficient and
clearer method. For cpufreq=dom0-kernel, such implication exists
to have dom0 vcpus pinned to corresponding physical cpus with
same number. Unless your platform couldn't work with acpi-cpufreq
driver on native linux, you should always spin on cpufreq=xen.
Thanks,
