Good point. Btw: When I did some experiments with cpupools, I couldn't 
create the cpupool config file on the fly and pipe it to the xl 
cpupool-create command, as it:
a) explicitly checks for a regular file to be named (and doesn't handle 
'-' or can cope with /dev/stdin)
b) stats the file to learn the file size (requiring this to be a 
seekable file, that's why check a)
These are restrictions which apply to guest config files, too, as they 
use the same functionality.
Is this just a limit in the implementation or is the requirement for a 
regular on-disk file there for a reason?
I could easily create a patch to do away with these restrictions (after 
the release), are there any arguments against this?
Regards,
Andre.
