here some news for kvm forum 2015 :)

for xbzrle, I think we could enable it by default, as it's has been optimized since this commit:
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=27af7d6ea5015e5ef1f7985eab94a8a218267a2b


for compression, slides said that for 10GBE, it's slower with compression.
also for compression, we can configure number of threads and compression level

(BTW, they are a lot of interesting doc for different topic from kvm forum 2015, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2015)

If we add additional options, there should be a good reason. 
For example, why do you want to disable compression or 
xbzrle? Any benchmarks?
