This patch does 2 jobs:

- Enforce the number of CPUs dom0 will take. See the new variable
"dom0-cpus" in xend-config.sxp (you will want to set this variable to
1 on SMP systems)

- Balloon out dom0 memory when creating domU, if there is not enough
free memory. The lowest level we will balloon out is configured via
the new variable "dom0-min-mem" in xend-config.sxp


I still have a doubt: where to put the code to enforce dom0-cpus. At
the moment I put it into
python/xen/xend/server/SrvDaemon.py, and hopefully that is resonable
enough. Any comment?
