How do I tell which line Xen arguments should go on in a menu.lst stanza - kernel or module?

I see a list of parameters that can be passed to Xen in a number of places, but not which line they should be on.

Why would an arg go on one line vs another (i see some move from module to kernel when moving from a standard linux kernel to a xen one)?

For instance:

title           Xen-smp
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=140000
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/sda1 ro nousb noirqbalance
savedefault
boot

Is this right? Or should irqbalance go on the kernel line? And why? Is there a general rule to follow for these sorts of things?

Thanks
