Commit 6879be48 moved adding of an implicit video device after XML parsing. As a result, libxlDomainDeviceDefPostParse() is no longer called to set the default vram when adding an implicit device. Commit 6879be48 assumes virDomainVideoDefaultRAM() will set the default vram, but it returns 0 if the domain virtType is VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_XEN. Attempting to start an HVM domain with vram=0 results in

error: unsupported configuration: videoram must be at least 4MB for CIRRUS

The default vram setting for Xen HVM domains depends on the device model used (qemu-xen vs qemu-traditional), hence setting the default is deferred to libxlDomainDeviceDefPostParse().

This patch addresses the problem during creation of the video device. If vram is 0, it is assumed unset and the default (depending on qemu-xen vs qemu-traditional) is applied.

Hmm, What about letting (xen) libxl decide that? If vram is set to 0 we would set video_memkb to LIBXL_MEMKB_DEFAULT and have (xen) libxl decide the defaults and latter update def with the value libxl set back? Altough these values are well established defaults, these might change on libxl in which case prevent domain creation.
