I think that we should really fix this by setting the ulimit always for libvirt - so a configuration option is not really required.
We do this in other areas as well; I'd also like to see if we can get this into the Ubuntu packaging as well.
So please could you rework with the following changes:
1) Drop the configuration option
2) Set the ulimit via /etc/default/libvirt-bin
There's already a template for this - by doing it here, we ensure that this change is not lost when Ubuntu migrates to using systemd instead of upstream.
Thanks for your proposal to resolve this problem.
