Correct. I'm not that familiar with power-management under Xen but a
good reference appears to be http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/xenpm

(there is a configuration option where a unique dom0 VCPU is pinned to
each PCPU in a strict 1-1 mapping which allows regular Linux power
management to be used, I don't know how well supported this is though.
Normally the hypervisor based stuff would be recommended AFAIK)
