And I was hoping no one would notice that ugly little detail :-).

Before sending this patch I thought about splitting the check for dom0_mem out 
of libxlGetAutoballoonConf, but I couldn't think of a better place to put it. 
Although it is lumped with parsing libxl.conf it does keep the autoballoon logic 
in one small function, so in the end I decided to just leave it.
