This is, to all the effects, a form of placement so, if this part of
vNUMA specification is present, you should disable the automatic
placement happening in libxl.
This is all it takes to do so (look inside parse_vcpu_affinity() if you
need more insights):
libxl_defbool_set(&b_info->numa_placement, false);

I think that using vcpupin_parse() for "vcpus=" would allow for more
flexible syntax (i.e., things like "3-8,^5"), and save some code. The
only downside is that it also accepts things like "nodes:1", which we
clearly don't want in here... is that why you are not going for it?
If you decide to use it, BTW, you may want to change its name (again!)
