As far as I remember, once you modified the 2 init scripts xend and 
xendomains, you're done: only these 2 scripts try to find /etc/sysconfig 
only.
For example, xen-network-common.sh you also mentionned will use the 
first file (function first_file) that can be found in various locations, 
including /etc/default.
Finally, if you're installing a production-ready dom0, I don't think you 
want to install documentation ;-)

I don't exactly know as I do not use PCI passtrough. But I just saw 
Mark's answer.
That make me think I'll have to upgrade to Squeeze ;-)
