but device shorthand here.
We probably ought to accept both forms, just as we do with
virDomainBlockStats, as of commit 89b6284f (oh, and that means that I
ought to update virDomainBlockStats to document the same thing) - which
means this can be a separate cleanup to make libvirt.c docs consistent
as well as teaching the new API to use the domain_conf.c
virDomainDiskIndexByName method to allow both forms. I can get to that
after finishing my review of this series, if you don't beat me.

Trailing space (running 'make syntax-check' will gripe).
s/agiain/again/
Also, probably worth mentioning that the value of @nparams may be
disk-specific, so the user is best off reprobing an appropriate nparams
for each disk rather than assuming the parameters from 1 disk apply to
all others.

This needs to be in a new section LIBVIRT_0.9.8 based off of
LIBVIRT_0.9.5 (we aren't changing 0.9.7 at this point).
The problems I mentioned are minor enough that I don't mind fixing them
prior to pushing, if the rest of the series looks sane; but if later
review finds more problems later in the series, we may need a v5 series
instead. I'll see about reviewing the rest of the series this week
(I've also got quite a few nwfilter patches backed up in my todo queue).
