Description

Use case

The current CPU pinning only feeds the settings into the KVM hypervisor. It would be good to have the same ability with the Xen hypervisor so one can compare the degree of realtimeliness between the two.

Describe the solution you'd like

The xen config file is set up with the pinning based on what arrives in the EVE API.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing CPU pinning implementation for KVM in the codebase. Then create a similar mechanism for Xen by modifying the Xen configuration generation in the EVE API handling code.
