I was not clear, and using maxcpus boot parameter in dom0 kernel is not what I want. 

I wanted to let xen see only one socket and schedule only that socket (4 cores), so giving dom0 kernel boot parameter does not help. So I was wrong about that.

What I am looking for is to tell xen to schedule only a portion of the available physical processors to whatever VMs, is there any method? I checked the BIOS options, and there is no way to disable a processor.

Thanks,
Shawn
