I was think about this,
When dynamic scheduler will be implemented, you'll need to use values
streamed from pvestatd.
So why can't we do the same for static values ?  (maxmem && maxcpus are
already send by pvestatd).

This should avoid the need to parse vm config,
and maybe avoid to use load_config ?
(from your initial commit,

it seem to be slow)
