Subject: e820_host default value and libxl (not xl)

Hi,

According to xl.cfg(5) " This option defaults to true (1) if any PCI
passthrough devices are configured and false (0) otherwise."
And indeed this behaviour is implemented in xl. But not in libxl, which
means other libxl based toolstacks (libvirt) will not take advantage of
this directly.

What would be the best approach here? Duplicate that behaviour in
libvirt (currently libvirt knows nothing about this option), or move
that default handling to libxl? I think the later makes more sense, but
maybe there is some reason against it?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
