If by "dispatched entire domains" you mean that all of the 
logical processors for a domain were always dispatched 
together, I don't think that is correct.  For one thing, it 
would have made MDF more complicated than it needed to 
be.  For another, it would have meant that if you had 
domain A with 1 LP and domain B with 2 LPs on a system 
with two physical processors, whenever domain A was 
active, one of the processors would have always been idle. 
That would not have been very efficient.
