After Fabio's reply I think that the real intention was to introduce a
new config file to set the default value of most options, across
multiple VMs, in fact replacing all the libxl_*_init functions.
The xend equivalent would be xend-config.sxp.
Yes, as described in the file added, if value exist in default config take that takes the place of the core in default. Here the patch improved and with remove of disk and shadow_memory not necessary on global defaults.
