If this is what you want, using the scheduler parameters is just
unnecessary overhead. Setup cpusets instead, e.g.:
echo 0 > /etc/vservers/<guest0>/cpuset/cpus
echo 0 > /etc/vservers/<guest0>/cpuset/mems
echo cpu0 > /etc/vservers/<guest0>/cpuset/name
echo 1 > /etc/vservers/<guest1>/cpuset/cpus
echo 0 > /etc/vservers/<guest1>/cpuset/mems
echo cpu1 > /etc/vservers/<guest1>/cpuset/name

Note that mems for guest1 might be different - it depends on whether your
system is NUMA or not.

This also assumes that you have /dev/cpuset mounted.
