When setting the parameters from the config file we have no domain yet which
we would have to specify for XEN_DOMCTL_SCHEDOP_getinfo. I didn't want to
parse part of the config only after domain creation.

A default should be okay, as this is what we want to modify. :-)
The scheduler should initialize a new domain with this default, of course.
