i.e., no need for xend itself to know about the new config item.

Well, I don't know Keir since the main use scenario for maxvcpus is to
set number of vcpus for the guest so a new definition in Xend should be
required.
      
 
We already have a config option for that, called 'vcpus'. 'vcpu_avail' can
then be used to limit the number of those which are brought online during
initial boot. Any new config-file options can be sugar on top of those.

 Well, imagine scenario you need to allocate 4 vcpus to the guest but you 
need to use only 2 vcpus at startup. So you suggest having `vcpus` and 
`maxvcpus` options in the config file and allocating all the `maxvcpus` 
and setting number of `vcpus` by setting appropriate mask using 
`vcpu_avail` ?
Thanks,
