Again, I think the new virsh commands can be useful, but would need to 
map on top of virDomainUpdateDevice rather than new API, meaning this 
patch needs a v2.

Do we want to go with our usual --live/--config/--current?  That is, I 
can change the link state of the running VM, of the next boot of the VM, 
or of whichever state the VM is in (whether running or inactive)? 
Especially since other virsh commands around virDomainUpdateDevice 
expose those three flags.
