If you use a line like this in the config file:
"CPUS=[^0]" or "CPUS="[^0,1]" would give one
core/hyperthread or two
cores/hyperthreads that only run Dom0.
You may also want to configure /etc/xen/xend-cofnig.sxp to set
"(dom0-cpus 2)" so that it uses the first two CPU''s in the
system (or
similar).
