[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: update man page for cpu_shares parameter

[Daniel Veillard]

The man page suggest that the cpu_shares parameter of schedinfo
allows values 0-262144, but the kernel remaps values 0 and 1 to
the minimum 2, just document that behaviour:

[root at test ~]# cat /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
1024
[root at test ~]# echo 0 > /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
[root at test ~]# cat /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
2
[root at test ~]# echo 1 > /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
[root at test ~]# cat /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
2
[root at test ~]#

* tools/virsh.pod: update description of the cpu_shares parameter
  to indicate the values 0 and 1 are automatically changed by the
  kernel to minimal value 2

 B<Note>: The cpu_shares parameter has a valid value range of 0-262144; Negative
 values are wrapped to positive, and larger values are capped at the maximum.
-Therefore, -1 is a useful shorthand for 262144.
