xl, cpupools: Create empty pool if no cpus are specified
Currently, if "xl cpupool-create" is called with no cpus configured,
xl will choose a cpu at random from the list of unassigned cpus, and
if no unassigned cpus are available, it will fail.
This seems to me to be a poor interface. For one, it makes it impossible
to create an empty cpupool using the xl command-line, except by creating
a pool and then removing the cpus from it. For two, I don't think assigning
a random cpu is a feature; it's not unreasonable for the user to specify
which cpus to add to which pools.
This patch changes the behavior of "xl cpupool-create" to create an empty
pool if no cpus are specified. I believe this interface to be more expected
and more script-friendly.
