That won't work on Folsom since the libvirt.xml.template no longer
exists.  See my reply elsewhere in this thread for how todo it in
the Nova code.  If you want to just hack it in without modifying
Nova though, it is possible to use a libvirt hook script:

  http://libvirt.org/hooks.html

this is invoked by libvirt immediately prior to launching a guest,
allowing you to modify the XML that is used.
