If a previous commit I fixed the incorrect handling of vcpu pids
for TCG mode QEMU:

Don't setup fake CPU pids for old QEMU
The code assumes that def->vcpus == nvcpupids, so when we setup
fake CPU pids for old QEMU with nvcpupids == 1, we cause the
later code to read off the end of the array. This has fun results
like sche_setaffinity(0, ...) which changes libvirtd's own CPU
affinity, or even better sched_setaffinity($RANDOM, ...) which
changes the affinity of a random OS process.
The intent was that this would merely disable the ability to set
per-vCPU affinity. It should still have been possible to set VM
level host CPU affinity.
Unfortunately, when you set <vcpu cpuset='0-1'>4</vcpu>, the XML
parser will internally take this & initialize an entry in the
def->cputune.vcpupin array for every VCPU. IOW this is implicitly
being treated as
<cputune>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='0'/>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='1'/>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='2'/>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='3'/>
</cputune>
Even more fun, the faked cputune elements are hidden from view when
querying the live XML, because their cpuset mask is the same as the
VM default cpumask.
The upshot was that it was impossible to set VM level CPU affinity.
To fix this we must update qemuProcessSetVcpuAffinities so that it
only reports a fatal error if the per-VCPU cpu mask is different
from the VM level cpu mask.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
