We cannot guarentee whether the active hotplugging will update the
persistent config or not, but if possible it should. Currenty XenD
appears to update the config from what I see, though haven't tested
it for real yet
It will update the persistent config, but there's an annoying bug: the
in-xend-memory version of the config isn't updated. So when the domain
shuts down, you have to restart xend to get the real config. I haven't
got around to working out the fix for this yet.
