Carlo, right now I think the settings you mentioned are not too special to justify a new guest type, as the only strict requirement is 64-bit.
That can be easily achieved telling users to go with the "Linux26_64" profile and adding all the optional stuff as needed. For the future we have to think about coming up with a more flexible approach for adding guest types (profiles) in a dynamic way so that those patches are not needed anymore. Ideas / patches for that are welcome!
