* New features
* nodedev: Add ability to automatically start mediated devices
The autostart status of a persistent mediated devices can be managed with
the new APIs ``virNodeDeviceSetAutostart()`` and
``virNodeDeviceGetAutostart()``. The corresponding virsh command is
``nodedev-autostart``. In addition, two new APIs were added to get
additional information about node devices: ``virNodeDeviceIsPersistent()``
checks whether the device is persistently defined, and
``virNodeDeviceIsActive()`` checks whether the node device is currently
active. This information can also be retrieved with the new virsh command
``nodedev-info``.
Enjoy.
