Documentation on create subcommand in the xl man page describes the 'key=value' 
options as

key=value
It is possible to pass key=value pairs on the command line to provide options as if
they were written in the configuration file; these override whatever is in the
configfile.

I'm not aware of similar functionality in libvirt.  You would need to customize 
the domXML before feeding it to 'virsh create'.
