I found a problem above.  In the case where we are controlling quota at
the domain level cgroup we must multiply the user-specified quota by the
number of vcpus in the domain in order to get the same performance as we
would with per-vcpu cgroups.  As written, the vm will be essentially
capped at 1 vcpu worth of quota regardless of the number of vcpus.  You
will also have to apply this logic in reverse when reporting the
scheduler statistics so that the quota number is a per-vcpu quantity.
