* **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``.
