Translate libvirt discard settings into libxl-4.5 discard settings. It makes use of upcoming changes for xen-4.5: http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-01/msg02632.html
This patch is not compile tested. How is a config file supposed to look like to make use of a discard=on|off flag for a given disk image?
Here's two examples: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' discard='unmap'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/f14.img'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' discard='ignore'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk>

In the case where LIBXL_HAVE_LIBXL_DEVICE_DISK_DISCARD_ENABLE is not defined, then you should call virReportError with the code VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, if discard != VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DISCARD_DEFAULT This ensures apps get an error if they had requested discard instead of being silently ignored.
