We already have the ability to temporary boot with a different configuration than is stored in the persistent XML. Just call virDomainCreateXML() passing in the alternative XML doc. This allows changing *any* aspect of the guest configuration, so we're not restricted to just bot device, kernel initrd and cmdline, and thus won't need to write more code anytime someone asks to be able to override something else too.
