thanks for spotting this, I am appending an updated version (you might
need to fix PATCH 9 because it might have problems applying after this
change, but the fix is so trivial that I am not going to post another
update of the series just for that):

Add a global configuration file: /etc/xen/xl.conf; the only option
currently parsed is autoballoon that is 1 by default.
