Xen PV VM uses max 1 Thread

Question

I am running a CPU benchmark tool (LINPACK) on a PV virtual machine inside Xen 4.5.1 on Ubuntu 15.10 x64 on an IBM x3550 M4 server. This tool should consume all possible CPU cycles available. I allocate 4 vCPUs by defining this in the Xen PV (test.cfg). However, LINPACK detects only 1 core and 4 threads while it should detect at least 4 cores:

CPU frequency:    2.494 GHz
Number of CPUs: 1
Number of cores: 1
Number of threads: 4

This is what lscpu says inside this Xen PV VM:

Architecture:          x86_64
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order:            Little Endian

On-line CPU(s) list:   0-3
Thread(s) per core:    4

L3 cache:              10240K
NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-3

Other platforms such as Docker and HVM DO get cores allocated inside the virtual node (see below). These nodes have significant better performance then the Xen PV virtual node.

CPU frequency:    2.499 GHz
Number of CPUs: 2
Number of cores: 8
Number of threads: 4

This is the DomU Xen host machine lscpu:

xen DomU PV VM config:

cat test.cfg

bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen-4.5/bin/pygrub'

vcpus   =  '4'
memory  =  '2048'
cpus    = "0-3"

Is there any options to give the paravirtualized guest the host-cpu topology? In other words, how do I get Xen to use more vCPU cores/ vCPUs?

Thanks!
