Currently it is hard-coded in the patch for qemu-kvm just for testing: diff -Narup a/qemu-kvm-1.0/qemu-kvm-x86.c b/qemu-kvm-1.0/qemu-kvm-x86.c --- a/qemu-kvm-1.0/qemu-kvm-x86.c 2011-12-04 19:38:06.000000000 +0900 +++ b/qemu-kvm-1.0/qemu-kvm-x86.c 2012-09-06 20:19:44.828163734 +0900 @@ -139,12 +139,28 @@ static int kvm_enable_tpr_access_reporti return kvm_vcpu_ioctl(env, KVM_TPR_ACCESS_REPORTING, &tac); } +static int kvm_set_slave_cpu(CPUState *env) +{ + int r, slave = env->cpu_index == 0 ? 2 : env->cpu_index == 1 ? 3 : -1; `slave' is the offlined CPU ID assigned, and `env->cpu_index' is the virtual CPU ID. You need to modify here and recompile qemu-kvm (or just offline cpu 2 and 3 for a 2vcpus guest ;) ).
