This new virsh command uses the new virNetworkUpdate() API to modify
an existing network definition, and optionally have those
modifications take effect immediately without restarting the network.
An example usage:
virsh net-update mynet add-last ip-dhcp-host \
"<host mac='00:11:22:33:44:55' ip='192.168.122.45'/>" \
--live --config
If you like, you can instead put the xml into a file, and call like
this:
virsh net-update mynet add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myxml.xml
--live --config
(since an xml element must always start with "<", but a filename
rarely does, virsh just checks the first character of the supplied
"--xml" argument, and decides whether to use the text directly or as a
filename. In the rare event that someone really does have a filename
starting with "<", they can specify it as "./<xxxx".)
A --parent-index option is also available (to give the index within a
list of parent objects, e.g. the index of the parent <ip> element when
updating ip-dhcp-host elements), but is optional and at least for now
will probably be used rarely.
--live, --config, and --current options - if you specify --live, only
the live state of the network will be updated. If you also specify
--config, then the persistent configuration will also be updated;
these two commands can be given separately, or both together. If you
don't specify either (you can optionally specify "--current" for the
same effect), then the "current" config will be updated (i.e. if the
network is active, then only its live config is affected, but if the
network is inactive, only the persistent config is affected).

V2 changes: This has fixed the problems Eric found with V1, and also
changed the way the args work.

+
+Update a the given section of an existing network definition, with the
+changes optionally taking effect immediately, without needing to
+destroy and re-start the network.
+
+I<command> is one of "add-first", "add-last", "add" (a synonym for
+add-last), "delete", or "modify"
+
+I<section> is one of ""bridge", "domain", "ip", "ip-dhcp-host",
+"ip-dhcp-range", "forward", "forward-interface", "forward-pf",
+"portgroup", "dns-host", "dns-txt", or "dns-srv", each section being
+named by a concatenation of the xml element hierarchy leading to the
+element being changed. For example, "ip-dhcp-host" will change a
+<host> element that is contained inside a <dhcp> element inside an
+<ip> element of the network.
+
+I<xml> is either the text of a complete xml element of the type being
+changed (e.g. "<host mac="00:11:22:33:44:55' ip='1.2.3.4'/>", or the
+name of a file that contains a complete xml element. Disambiguation is
+done by looking at the first character of the provided text - if the
+first character is "<", it is xml text, if the first character is not
+"<", it is the name of a file that contains the xml text to be used.
+
+The I<--parent-index> option is used to specify which of several
+parent elements the requested element is in (0-based). For example, a
+dhcp <host> element could be in any one of multiple <ip> elements in
+the network; if a parent-index isn't provided, the "most appropriate"
+<ip> element will be selected (usually the only one that already has a
+<dhcp> element), but if I<--parent-index> is given, that particular
+instance of <ip> will get the modification.
+
+If I<--live> is specified, affect a running guest.
+If I<--config> is specified, affect the next boot of a persistent guest.
+If I<--current> is specified, affect the current guest state.
+Both I<--live> and I<--config> flags may be given, but I<--current> is
+exclusive. Not specifying any flag is the same as specifying I<--current>.
