So we should apply Stefano's patch ? I'm not sure I'm convinced.

Here you seem to be saying that the scheme that you implemented (in
xend, I take it) is not the same as the one in Stefano's patch.

Right, good.

Well, we accepted patches to try to implement "xl vcpu-set" to make it
work like "xm vcpu-set" but they are apparently wrong.

xl should use the same syntax in xenstore as xend currently does. If
xm (and therefore xend) and qemu currently work properly then changing
qemu will break xend. Instead, libxl should be changed to use the
same scheme as xend.

Right.
Thanks,
