This patch series implements a new command line option '--start' that
allows the user to start the edited domain directly. A new flag called
'--no-define' is also introduced, which allows a transient start of
the changed domain without defining it.
This is especially useful if you want to temporarily use a different
boot configuration than the one defined in the persistent domain
definition. For example, it's possible to temporarily boot from
another kernel/initrd/cmdline (via direct boot) or to temporarily boot
from another bootable device.
Example usage:
$ virt-xml ${DOMAIN_NAME} --edit mac='52:54:00:df:e5:05' --network="boot_order=1" --start --no-define
