Firstly, I think this editing of libxl's copy of domain config way is
a layering violation.

But it ought to be unnecessary, because either libxl_domain_rename
or "libxl_load_domain_configuration" should deal with it.  I would
much prefer the latter, as that results in the domain name being
stored only in one place.

I mostly agree with Ian's comments.

Thanks,
Ian.
