No, don't edit that unless you want your changes to be thrown away / randomly
overwriten at will.

Either use virt-manager to add/remove devices, or using virsh you can do
the following:

   virsh dumpxml [NAME|UUID|ID of GUEST]  >  NAME.xml
   emacs NAME.xml
   virsh define NAME.xml

That will ensure that the config is loaded into XenD correctly, and will
indirectly modify the files in /var/lib/xend in a safe fashion
