These appear to the kernel / init process in /proc/cmdline. When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline, but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve libvirt parsing the<cmdline> XML text.

ACK, and agreed about the potential for future argv parsing improvement being deferred to a later patch.
