Currently there is no way to do so (apart from hacking the xen code :-)
It's possible that we'll modify this in the future, but for the near 
future it's not likely. 

A better solution is to modify the user-space tools (xenctl etc) to 
handle allocation of resources in a less fragile way; this may happen
soonish as we're in the process of designing a new set of user-space
tools with a better notion of allocation, etc.
